Research Lab
Behavioral ResearchWe observe infants as they relate to the world around them. Infants communicate with others via social cues such as gazing at another person or object, smiling, laughing, and responding to a person’s voice. By observing infants’ behavior, we try to find out how they use these social cues as well as how they acquire language and learn new words for objects. 
EEG StudiesWe measure infants' electrical brain activity associated with seeing pictures or hearing sounds. We use EEG methods to help us understand how the infant brain processes information. While working with typically developing children, we also conduct studies on children with autism. With these studies, we hope to better understand atypical development and to diagnose children with autism earlier. This will help us to employ more effective interventions.Eye-Tracking StudiesComing soon! 10 step tour through The INFANCY RESEARCH Lab (Click on a thumbnail image to enlarge.
