  Many of our tasks ask children to learn new words -- in games, on the computer, or by viewing slides. We do this to understand how learning works and how it can be made easier. We are also interested in real world, everyday learning in naturalistic settings.In the past, we (and lots of other researchers) followed young children around with cameras and clipboards, trying to understand their every day learning experiences. But these techniques just allow us to see the child in the world, they don't show us the child's world in the sense of what the child sees. In very exciting new research, we are putting lightweight head-cameras on children, a first attempt to see the world as they do.www.iub.edu/~cogdev Show less

  Conducted several research projects with respect to how children play with objects and how they manipulate their movement as they gain control of their arms and hands under the guidance of Dr. Jeffrey Lockman. How infants develop hand-to-mouth coordination during the first year. In this set of studies, infants are placed in a chair and presented with objects such as pacifiers, bottles, spoons, and sippy cups. As they bring objects to their mouths, their movements are recorded and analyzed to gain knowledge of how the basic adaptive skill of self-feeding develops.How children develop early writing skills. In this study, children in pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade are given writing tasks. They wear an eye tracker to tell us where they are looking during these tasks. This information allows us to examine the link between visual processing and motor control.childdevelopment.tulane.edutulane.edu/sse/psyc Show less

  As the President of Tulane University's Graduate and Professional Student Association, I acted as the primary representative for more than 4500 graduate students across 10 different academic schools. My role as president ranged from advocating for graduate student needs to advising the handling of a budget in excess of $800,000. I worked closely with my executive board members, as well as the Undergraduate Student Government, faculty, staff, and administration, to support and advocate for graduate students in regards to Tulane University's policies on health insurance, finances, transportation, alcohol, and sexual misconduct.
