| I have been in the psycholinguistics and computational cognition lab since the fall of 2005. I ran subjects for Zana Devitto and Jon Willits. While working in lab I have interviewed subjects and entered their information through data entry. In the spring of 2005, I attended the PURC conference in UCLA. My research was on Religiosity and how it is connected with conscientiousness and openness (from the Big Five). I am currently very interested in cognitive development, psychiatry, and hands on research on autistic children. Currently, I am doing research on autistic children and their semantic and perceptual processing. I presented my research at the Symposium for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity 2007. My prime interest in cognitive development is autism and I hope to do further research in autism. |
