The KID Lab

To gain a greater understanding of mental health and development as it relates to the sociocultural contexts in which children develop, our team utilizes a variety of research methods and analyses.

Novel neuroimaging techniques, physiological measures, and socioemotional behavior analyses allow us to create exciting study paradigms that contribute to the expanding field of developmental psychopathology. In addition to neurophysiological measures, participants in our studies complete cognitive interviews and tasks involved in working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. The interplay of biological and behavioral components provide incredible insights into how children develop emotion regulation mechanisms and identify early markers of mental health dysfunction.
