What is DeLTA?
Delta is the mathematical symbol for change. The DeLTA (Development and Learning from Theory to Application) Center is an interdisciplinary research community at the University of Iowa dedicated to understanding the processes of learning and development and forming a bridge between basic science and the real world. We are interested in change at all levels: from neurobiology to social interaction across humans, non-human animals, and computer models, and in both typical and atypically developing systems.
What does DeLTA do?
DeLTA is first and foremost a scholarly center. We promote interactions between basic and applied researchers, help train, develop and support the next generation of collaborative scientists, and actively engage with community partners. DeLTA is a hub that helps break down walls and build bridges among departments, scientists and studies. Check out our activities and programs for more detail.
