Research Interests

Overall our research interests lie in understanding the relations between our two primary communicative systems:  language and emotion and their neural substrates.  To better understand their development and the changing nature of the relations of these systems, we examine the developmental trajectories of language and emotion and contexts where they intersect in both typically and atypically developing children:  children and adolescents with early unilateral brain damage, children with language impairment and children with Williams or Down Syndrome as well as typically developing individuals.  Some current projects include: language and literacy development in different populations including oral and written narratives in children with early brain damage and children with language impairment.  Emotion studies focus on social cognition, including children's developing abilities to recognize faces and emotional expression and to infer emotions in others.
