Altered sensory processing has been an important feature of the clinical descriptions of
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is evidence that sensory dysregulation arises early …

Psychological researchers have become increasingly concerned with generalized accounts
of human behavior based on narrow participant representation. This concern is particularly …

Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to
methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges …

Infants understand that people pursue goals, but how do they learn which goals people
prefer? We tested whether infants solve this problem by inverting a mental model of action …

Almost all attention and learning—in particular, most early learning—take place in social

Substantial evidence indicates that infants expect agents to move directly to their goals
when no obstacles block their paths, but the representations that articulate this expectation …

A key component of interacting with the world is how to direct ones' sensors so as to extract
task-relevant information—a process referred to as active sensing. In this review, we present …
