| In our lab we are conducting
studies in fetal-infant perception following
a dynamic systems theory approach. The current
focus is on the development of infant auditory
localization response, the evaluation of
fetal-infant sensitivity to vibroacoustic
stimulation (including tactile stimulation
by adults during adult-infant face-to-face
interactions) and infant affect and attentional
responses to changes in adult vocal and facial
expressions of emotions during social interactions.
Recent work includes: infant sensitivity
to adult contingent stimulation and changes
in eye-direction, as well as the use of eye-direction
cues by infants and young children to evaluate
their theory of mind. Also, we are studying
the adults' ability to read facial and vocal
