Anchored in developmental psychology, our team's research interests revolve around the concept of reciprocal connections between social experiences in the first years of life and children's social, neurocognitive, and psychophysiological development. In particular, we are interested in carefully measuring various aspects of mother-child and father-child relationships so as to determine how they can allow for better understanding of the development of sleep rhythms, executive functioning, brain structure, and socio-emotional adjustment in normative child populations.
