Current Research Activities:
My research interests are at the intersection of cognitive and social
development. Integrating developmental, cognitive, and sociocultural
perspectives, my research examines the mechanisms underlying the development of
a variety of social-cognitive skills including autobiographical memory,
self, and emotion knowledge. I am particularly interested in how
cultural beliefs and goals influence social cognitive representations
and processes by affecting information processing at the level of the
individual and by shaping social practices between individuals (e.g.,
sharing memory narratives between parents and children).
Current research examines cultural effects on the perceptual,
retention, and retrieval processes of episodic remembering; and
social-cognitive factors in the development of autobiographical memory
in middle childhood (funded by NSF award# BCS-0721171).
