Elizabeth A. Gunderson studies how children develop mathematical and spatial thinking, including counting, number knowledge, and mental rotation (imagining how objects look when turned). Her work also examines how parents, teachers, feedback, and beliefs (such as praise and growth mindset) shape children's learning and how anxiety and gender differences relate to math and spatial skills.
