Short presentation

I am interested in how children understand and engage in social interactions with others. How do children use social signals or interpret others’ behavior to determine their interactions goals? I also study interpersonal synchrony, including how infants align their behavior and physiological reactions with others. Finally, I am interested in how children develop gender categorization and stereotyping.
