My research interests are in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience with an emphasis on the development of attention, information processing, and recognition memory in typically developing infants and infants at increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I prefer an integrative approach to studying early development that includes: (1) behavioral measures, including visual look duration, looking preferences, and assessment of ASD risk; (2) psychophysiological measures, including event-related potentials (ERPs) and heart rate; and (3) neuroscience measures, including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cortical source analysis. My primary research aims are to define the developmental trajectory of social and nonsocial information processing in infancy, to identify neural mechanisms contributing to differences in responses to social and nonsocial stimuli, and to determine overlap and divergence within the development of information processing across infants at low and high risk for ASD.
