Post-Doc, Psychology
About
My research interests lie in how children and adolescents engage in, understand, and react to fictional and pretense worlds. I study how actors engage in fictional worlds onstage, the effects of such intense and prolonged engagement on the actor's social cognitive abilities, and how children understand and react to watching fictional worlds as audience members. I have been sponsored by the National Science Foundation (postdoctoral and dissertation grants), the American Psychological Foundation, and the Department of Homeland Security. I received my PhD from Boston College and my B.A. from Cornell University.
