Hannah Ebin, Ph.D. Candidate in the Clinical Developmental Psychology Program, has been awarded for her contribution to the Graduate Research Poster Session at the annual convention of the Pennsylvania Psychological Association.

Hannah’s project, entitled “Teaching Number Sense: An Intervention for At-Risk Kindergarten Students,” evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention program with kindergarten students who demonstrated weak number skills. According to Hannah’s study, students who participated in the intervention demonstrated significantly greater improvements on measures of identifying numerals, discriminating quantity, and identifying the missing number in a sequence than peer students who received regular classroom instruction.
