Research Interests

In our lab we are conducting studies in fetal-infant perception following a dynamic systems theory approach. The current focus is on the development of infant auditory localization response, the evaluation of fetal-infant sensitivity to vibroacoustic stimulation (including tactile stimulation by adults during adult-infant face-to-face interactions) and infant affect and attentional responses to changes in adult vocal and facial expressions of emotions during social interactions. Recent work includes: infant sensitivity to adult contingent stimulation and changes in eye-direction, as well as the use of eye-direction cues by infants and young children to evaluate their theory of mind.

Research Interests

My research has involved persons with developmental disabilities, persons with dual diagnosis (developmental disabilities and mental health problems) and persons with acquired or traumatic brain injuries and their families and caregivers. Studies have included attitudes toward persons with disabilities, coping with stress associated with caring for a person with disabilities, factors contributing to successful community integration of persons with disabilities and the impact of aging on individuals with disabilities and their caregivers.

My current research involves two emerging teams funded by CIHR and the Bloorview Foundation through the Bright Futures for Children with Disabilities initiative . The HELPS Inc Project: Health, Education and Learning Partnerships Promoting Social Inclusion of Children with Developmental Delays and Disabilities is exploring the challenges and successes that parents, healthcare professionals and educators experience in helping preschoolers with developmental delays and disabilities transition into elementary school.

The project has brought together a vibrant emerging team that includes parents and a multidisciplinary group of researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, healthcare and education students, and other stakeholders from five universities and agencies across three provinces (Halifax, Nova Scotia; Kingston and Toronto, Ontario; and Montréal and Trois Rivières, Quebec).

Our goal is to conduct research that is responsive to the inclusion needs of preschoolers with developmental delays and disabilities as they transition into school, the needs of their families, and the need for knowledge transfer and collaboration among parents, healthcare providers and educators.

The GO4KIDDS project: Great Outcomes for Kids Impacted by Severe Developmental Disabilities is also funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) through the Bright Futures for Children with Disabilities initiative. This project is focusing on the health, well-being and social inclusion of school-aged children with severe developmental disabilities (DD) and the experiences of their families. The GO4KIDDS team includes a multidisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians from four Universities, two hospitals and three treatment programs in Ontario.

Research Summary

My research program has spanned a wide range of topics that pertain to sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and sensory-guided motor processing. More specifically, my research and publications have focused on the tactile psychophysics of texture (real and virtual), haptic and multisensory processing of objects and their properties, haptic space perception, and the sensory-guided control of grasping and manipulation. Most recently I have been investigating haptic face processing. Collectively, my research has employed both behavioural (psychophysical; cognitive; developmental) and neuroscience (e.g., fMRI; behavioural studies with neurologically intact and impaired populations) paradigms. I have also applied the results of my scientific research toward the solution of a variety of real-world problems, such as the design of a raised tactile feature and code that allows blind individuals to denominate Canadian banknotes by hand, and the design of haptic and multisensory interfaces for virtual environments and teleoperation.

Research Interests

My research has three primary interests: (a) suicide; (b) strategies for constructing inventories of personality and psychopathology; and (c) methods for detecting faking on self-report inventories. Research on suicide concerns clinical and non-clinical populations and examines the roles of psychache, hopelessness, and motivations in predicting suicide ideation, attempts, and completions. In test construction, my focus is on evaluating the best methods for writing individual test items. Applications include research, clinical, counseling, employment, and forensic contexts. Investigations of faking examine the formulation of models of responding and the search for anomalies that indicate discrepancies (i.e., lies). Research deals with student, psychiatric patient, inmate, and job applicant populations.

Research Interests

Extensive training in neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, general physiological, histological, psychopharmacological, surgical, behaviour modification, and computer techniques. I was engaged in research on variables contributing to long-term smoking patterns and applications of autocorrelations to time-series analysis.

Other research interests included task-dependent properties of rewarding brain stimulation: pain, stress and endorphin release in the CNS; effects of toxic substances on brain and behaviour processes. I was also involved in a survey of harassment among male and female penitentiary staff.
