My research focuses on the development of perception and action across the lifespan. I completed my PhD with Karen Adolph in 2011. I am currently a post-doctoral fellow working with Karen Adolph and David Heeger studying visual development.

Head-Mounted Eye-Tracking with Mobile Infants

Research in developmental psychology puts a lot of stock in rough measures of infants' eye gaze. Preferential looking, habituation, and violation of expectation are methods that have been used to study everything from perceptual to social development, however, these methodologies constrain infants' movements and involve limited visual displays. In the real world, infants are free to explore their surroundings — they walk and crawl, manipulate objects, and interact with caregivers. In collaboration with Jason Babcock of Positive Science, we developed a method for tracking locomoting infants' eye gaze during unconstrained, spontaneously produced interactions.
