Research

The Developmental Program trains doctoral students for productive careers in teaching and research—both inside and outside of the academy.
We do multimodal developmental research that incorporates oxytocin collection, eye-tracking, head-mounted cameras, expert observations, iPad-administered individualized assessments, as well as structural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Developmental faculty study children from diverse ethnic, racial, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. We study children with developmental delays, clinical disorders, and typically developing children.
Research projects are funded by faculty grants and student fellowships from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Head Start, Autism Speaks, the Buffet Foundation, and the Institute of Education Sciences.
