Research Interests

My overarching interest is in the ways in which social, cognitive and linguistic aspects of psychological functioning ineract in the developmental process to create mind. At present this interest is focussed on infancy and the preschool years. Current topics of empirical research include:

* joint attention in infancy

* the development of the objective self in the second year of life

* the temporally extended self and future oriented reasoning

I am also continuing to develop a larger scale theory of the understanding of intentional relations with my colleague John Barresi (Dalhousie University).

Applied/Clinical Interests

I am interested in abnormalities in these topics, particularly in developmental disorders such as autism and ADHD.
