• Ph.D., Experimental Psychology, New York University
• M.A., Psychology, New York University
• B.A., Psychology, New York University

Teaching Interest:

• I am interested in teaching both undergraduate and graduate students in general topics (e.g., Introduction to Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Cognition), special topics (e.g., Cognitive Development, Perception and Action, Learning in Infancy), and laboratory courses (e.g., Research Methods in Infancy). I believe students should think critically about the ideas they learn and should be exposed to new concepts. I also want students to understand that psychology is an ever-changing science. We have not yet unlocked the secrets of the mind and there is plenty for interested students to discover.

Courses Taught:

• Introduction to Psychology
• First Year Seminar: Problem Solving
• Child Psychology
• Cognitive Psychology
• Neuropsychology
• Research Methods
• Data Analysis
• Capstone Seminar: Cognitive Development

Research Interest:

• My research is inspired by James & Eleanor Gibson’s Ecological Approach to Perception & Action. I am interested in understanding how children learn about possibilities for action. Using psychophysical methods I examine prospective guidance of actions using both perceptual and social information. My research taps into perceptual-motor, social cognition, and parenting domains. I have worked with infants, children, mothers, fathers, college students, and even monkeys.
