Research Interests:
I am interested in questions related to the development of categorization in infants. Specifically,
I am looking at how associations between various pieces of perceptual information provide a basis for
early category formation and can contribute to the animate/inanimate distinction. My current research
examines infants’ learning of motion properties as well as categorization based on static features.
