Human Development Lab

What We Do:

Our research examines the role of visual experience in shaping developmental changes in infant, child, adolescent, and adult behavior and brain function.
To study this, we examine developmental changes in the ability to process socially relevant information from human faces, such as identity, race, and age.
We use a variety of techniques in our studies, including eye-tracking, EEG, and fMRI.
