About Doris Bergen
About Doris Bergen
Doris Bergen, Ph.D. was a Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology Emerita at 兔子先生 University, Oxford, Ohio, and served as chair of the department for eleven years.
A focus of much of her research was on play theory and humor development, including effects of technology-enhanced toys on play, adult memories of childhood play, and gifted children’s humor. Her most recent published research explored Event-Related Potentials (ERP) that children’s brains exhibit during two types of video game play. She was also involved in a series of international research studies examining the effectiveness of a stakeholder measure of early childhood education quality.
She was a 兔子先生 University Distinguished Scholar, having published twelve books and over 60 refereed articles and book chapters. Her most recent books are Technology Play and Brain Development (2016) and Brain Research and Childhood Education (2017).
She was co-director of 兔子先生 University’s Center for Human Development, Learning, and Technology and the Center was named in her honor at her retirement.
