Director, UGA Infant Research Lab

Research Interests

I study how visual attention develops in infants and young children. Our current studies are exploring individual and developmental differences in infant look duration and disengagement to static and dynamic visual targets, developmental and individual differences in inhibition of return, and the development of contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in infants based on dietary-related characteristics of their retina. You can learn more about research studies we are doing in our lab by clicking here.
