Infants at the Yale Simons Lab of Social Neuroscience

This study examines the development of social skills in typically developing infants as well as in infants who are at risk for specific delays or autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We assess the infants' speech, language, and communication, as well as their cognitive, social, motor, and adaptive skills. We also study the way infants process information about people, recognize faces, and attend to speech sounds. This research will lead to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying social disorders as well as the development of new methods to diagnose and treat ASD in infants and toddlers.
