About me

My research focuses on social-cognitive development, addressing topics such as how children reason about interpersonal similarities and how infants and children begin to coordinate with others through interpersonal synchrony, both behavioral and physiological. Another area of my work is beginning to address the development of categorization and attitudes regarding gender and social groups.
