Research
Overview
|
| My primary research interest is the development
of sensory and perceptual abilitie s in human infants. This
interest includes both visual and auditory development. Studies
of visual development have focused on the mechanisms by which
young infants control their eye movements to fixate stationary
and moving objects, as well as studies of infants' processing
of motion and depth. Studies of auditory development have focused
on speech perception in infants and young children as well as
basic psychoacoustic abilities in early infancy. These research
projects are linked by the common goal of explaining the role
of early experience and learning in perceptual development.
