Dr. Wagner focuses on early social and cognitive development spanning several areas, including social and emotional processing (e.g., how do babies pay attention to faces; how do children distinguish emotions), numerical cognition (e.g., how do children acquire counting skills; can infants differentiate between varying quantities), and learning and memory (e.g., how long can babies remember a face; how does attention relate to memory during childhood). Using eye-tracking & physiological methods, this work aims to better understand changes across development and contribute to work on early identification of differing developmental trajectories.
