The lab explores ways to support reading, writing, and learning from the perspectives of educational psychology and cognitive science.

AboutAbout the lab
Supporting people who struggle with reading and writing through ingenuity and technology.
The Takahashi Lab studies how people read, write, and learn, from the standpoints of educational psychology and cognitive science.
The lab has worked to clarify what elements make up "Easy Japanese" (yasashii nihongo), Japanese that can be understood by more people.
The lab also proposes a program that uses generative AI to improve document-writing skills and tests its effectiveness.
As part of the Iwabuchi Lab, the lab also takes part in research on assistive technology.
