Current Studies:

Temperament Over Time Study (T.O.T.S): This project is a large longitudinal study investigating the individual and environmental factors associated with social development from infancy through childhood. We have been seeing many of the children since they were 2-years of age and some of the children we have been seeing since they were infants! Currently, we are finishing up the 5-year visit and beginning the 7-year visit. A BIG thank you goes out to all of the families that have helped make this project possible over the years!

Infant Social Learning Study: We are currently testing 1-month-old infants' ability to learn and the relevance of this learning for their social development. We are actively recruiting infants for this study. For more information on this study and contact information, click here.
