Finding Structure in Modern Dance (2023)
Journal Article

Research has shown that both adults and children organize familiar activity into discrete units with consistent boundaries, despite the dynamic, continuous nature of everyday experiences. However, less is known about how observers segment unfamiliar... Read More about Finding Structure in Modern Dance.

Visual statistical learning in deaf and hearing infants and toddlers (2022)
Journal Article

Congenital hearing loss offers a unique opportunity to examine the role of sound in cognitive, social, and linguistic development. Children with hearing loss demonstrate atypical performance across a range of general cognitive skills. For instance, r...

Joint Action in Deaf and Hearing Toddlers: A Mobile Eye-Tracking Study (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Infants experience the world through their actions with objects and their interactions with other people, especially their parents. Prior research has shown that school-age children with hearing loss experience poorer quality interactions with typica...

Understanding the causes and consequences of variability in infant ERP editing practices (2021)
Journal Article

The current study examined the effects of variability on infant event-related potential (ERP) data editing methods. A widespread approach for analyzing infant ERPs is through a trial-by-trial editing process. Researchers identify electroencephalogram...

Action prediction during real-time parent-infant interactions (2020)
Journal Article

Social interactions provide a crucial context for early learning and cognitive development during infancy. Action prediction—the ability to anticipate an observed action—facilitates successful, coordinated interaction and is an important social-cogni... Read More about Action prediction during real-time parent-infant interactions.

Using head-mounted eye-trackers to study sensory-motor dynamics of coordinated attention (2020)
Book Chapter

In this chapter, we introduce recent research using head-mounted eye-trackers to record sensory-motor behaviors at a high resolution and examine parent-child interactions at a micro-level. We focus on one important research topic in early social and... Read More about Using head-mounted eye-trackers to study sensory-motor dynamics of coordinated attention.

Does Being Born Deaf Affect How We See? (2020)
Journal Article

Have you ever heard someone say that if you are born deaf, you have better vision to make up for it? People often think so, but is that actually true? We know that what babies hear, see, and touch determines how their brains develop. When you are gro... Read More about Does Being Born Deaf Affect How We See?.

How Early Auditory Experience Affects Children’s Ability to Learn Spoken Words (2020)
Book Chapter

It is generally assumed that deaf and hard-of-hearing children’s difficulties in learning novel words stem entirely from impaired speech perception. Degraded speech perception makes words more confusable, and correctly recognizing words clearly plays...

Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Developmental theory considers action prediction as one of several processes involved in determining how infants come to perceive and understand social events (Gredebäck & Daum, 2015). Action prediction is observed from early in life and is considere... Read More about Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy.

Hearing Loss Affects Infants’ Visual Processing and Cognitive Development (2019)
Journal Article

Hearing loss affects up to three of every 1,000 live births in the United States.1 Recent research has shown that hearing loss from birth has cascading effects on development that extend beyond the auditory system. Deaf children exhibit poorer perfor... Read More about Hearing Loss Affects Infants’ Visual Processing and Cognitive Development.

Visual habituation in deaf and hearing infants (2019)
Journal Article

Translating visual information into action predictions: Statistical learning in action and nonaction contexts (2018)
Journal Article

Humans are sensitive to the statistical regularities in action sequences carried out by others. In the present eyetracking study, we investigated whether this sensitivity can support the prediction of upcoming actions when observing unfamiliar action...

Infants’ Motor Proficiency and Statistical Learning for Actions (2017)
Journal Article

The infant motor system predicts actions based on visual statistical learning (2017)
Journal Article

Motor theories of action prediction propose that our motor system combines prior knowledge with incoming sensory input to predict other people's actions. This prior knowledge can be acquired through observational experience, with statistical learning... Read More about The infant motor system predicts actions based on visual statistical learning.

Toddlers’ action prediction: Statistical learning of continuous action sequences (2017)
Journal Article

Sensitivity to structure in action sequences: An infant event-related potential study (2017)
Journal Article

Statistical learning in social action contexts (2017)
Journal Article

Sensitivity to the regularities and structure contained within sequential, goal-directed actions is an important building block for generating expectations about the actions we observe. Until now, research on statistical learning for actions has sole... Read More about Statistical learning in social action contexts.
