Curriculum vitae


My research interests are focused on early cognitive development. I currently serve as director of the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University of Tennessee.  Research in the DCN lab is focused on the development of attention in infancy, and the impact of developmental change in attention on perception, learning, and memory. Multiple psychophysiological and behavioral measures are integrated into the majority of experiments run in the lab in order to gain greater insight into early development. This approach is being used to examine three areas of research: brain-behavior relations and the development of attention, individual differences in infant visual attention, and the effects of attention on categorization, face processing, and memory in infancy. ​

​

I am a fifth year PhD student from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My research interest include mulitsensory perception and the development of attention. In the DCN lab I plan to investigate how infants learn to use multimodal information from their environment to better process faces and languages. Outside of the lab I like to hike, ski, and root for the Pittsburgh Penguins. ​

Kenna Clayton, MSc

PhD Student 
5th Year Doctoral Candidate 
MSc, University of Edinburgh 
B.S, The University of Alabama 
[email protected]

I am a fifth year PhD student from Huntsville, Alabama. My research interests include visual processing and face perception. My master's thesis explored the visual information accessible to face selective brain areas. In the DCN lab, I plan to investigate perceptual narrowing in the development of face recognition. When I am not in the lab, I like to travel, hike, and hang out with my cat, Cricket. ​

Emma Coco, BS

PhD Student 

2nd Year Doctoral Candidate 
B.S, University of Washington
[email protected]

I am a second-year PhD student from Seattle, Washington. My research interests include early development of attention and working memory. In the DCN, I plan to investigate parent reported sleep and infant selective attention or working memory. Outside the lab, I like to read, play cozy games on my switch, and hike with my Corgi, Koda.
