The lab focuses on how behaviors and social interactions impact developmental trajectories throughout infancy and into toddlerhood. Studies conducted in the lab use various techniques: from conducting controlled laboratory experiments to free-flowing toy play sessions to collecting daylong multimodal (e.g., vocalizations, body movements, etc.) behavioral data. We are motivated to apply existing techniques from applied computational social science and dynamical systems theory and also develop new computational and analytic methods to understand the dynamics of development during infancy and early childhood.

We hope you will be able to attend and celebrate this milestone in the lives of our Psychology majors!

Each graduate will be provided with 8 guest tickets, unless the Classic Center imposes COVID restrictions or there or more students participating than the department is currently expecting.

More detailed information will be provided as the event date approaches. 

Huge shout out to 5th year clinical psychology doctoral student Violeta Rodriguez who was featured as one of the up-and-coming voices in methodology and research practices in psychological science! Violeta recently shared findings from her systematic review of the literature on measurement invariance/equivalence of parenting scales by race and ethnicity and discussed recommendations for inclusive parenting research.

Amazing work, Violeta! 

Huge congratulations to UGA clinical psychology doctoral candidate Violeta Rodriguez on receiving R36 funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)! The Mental Health Research Dissertation Grant to Increase Diversity (R36) supports doctoral candidates from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral science to pursue research careers in any area relevant to the research mission of NIMH.

Shout out to UGA Psychology BBS graduate student Jeffrey Nightingale for his recent feature in a peer-reviewed video protocol titled "Measuring the Behavioral Effects of Intraocular Scatter." In this video, Nightingale and UGA professor Dr. Billy R. Hammond Jr. discuss conceptual design elements and structural development of a glare acuity apparatus, which can aid in developing timely treatments for conditions affected by intraocular scatter, such as cataracts. Great work!
