My research focuses on infants' visual, attentional and perceptual development from a neuroscience perspective. Specific topics include the relation between various cognitive processes in young infants' formation of future-oriented expectations for the spatial, temporal, and content information of visual events; the interface between visual expectations and memory processes; development of mechanisms for selective attention and visual search; development of object recognition; and the processes involved in infants' control and execution of eye movements.

This research uses eye tracker equipment provided by Applied Science Laboratories, Bedford, MA.  For more information, see www.a-s-l.com (eye video)
