The PACE Center at Yale is dedicated to the idea that these three areas of psychology are inextricably intertwined. Abilities are and must be measured as developing competencies, which in turn can be transformed into various forms of developing expertise. Abilities, then, are incipient forms of developing expertise. As a result, abilities as well as the competencies and expertise that develop from them are flexible and modifiable in nature. The core group contains members from all over the world, including Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Greece, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
International affiliates encompass the globe.
The PACE Center seeks to transform science, education, and society. Our projects are chosen in order to advance our goal of changing the ways cultures conceive of, define, and set policy regarding abilities, competencies, expertise, and their interrelationships. The PACE Center actively seeks alliances with organizations around the world that share our mission and dedication to transforming science, education, and society. The PACE Center is physically located at 340 Edwards Street in New Haven. The Center is a part of the Department of Psychology and is associated with a new graduate program at Yale in Abilities and Expertise, with which almost half of the psychology department faculty is affiliated.
