Program affiliation: Experimental neuropsychology

Research interests

My current research interests are in the development of cognitive interventions for developmental disorders, such as Autism. I am interested in the perceptual abilities and deficits associated with these disorders, thus another line of research I am pursuing involves perceptual expertise and brain function as measured by ERP and behavioral measures.
