I study the development of visual attention in infants and young children. I am specifically interested in developmental changes in attention, the role of attentional processes in how infants learn about the world around them and how they interact with other people, and what individual differences in infant attention may tell us about social and cognitive development when the infant is older. In my lab, we study both behavioral (i.e., look duration and reaction time) and physiological (i.e., heart rate and respiration rate) measures of attention, using both global and microanalytic coding techniques.
