Susan E. Carey, born in 1942, is an American psychologist and a professor of psychology at Harvard University. She studies language acquisition, children's development of concepts, conceptual changes over time, and the importance of executive functions, and has conducted experiments on infants, toddlers, adults and non-human primates. Among the ideas she has developed are fast mapping, whereby children learn the meanings of words after a single exposure, extended mapping, folk theories and Quinian bootstrapping. She formally articulated fast mapping with Elsa Bartlett in 1978.
