At the Early Cognitive Development Unit we study infants up until the age of 2-years, to gain a better understanding of their mental abilities. Specifically, we are interested in what they know about feelings, intentions, and desires of both themselves and others. The Early Cognitive Development Unit also studies when toddlers and young children begin to understand that one thing can lead to another. For example, that a map or a picture is a representation of reality.

The over-arching theme of research in the Perception and Action Lab (McElwain Building, School of Psychology, University of Queensland) is how we interact with others and with the environment. More specifically, we investigate why irrelevant information within our environment alters our actions to goals (relevant information), how humans integrate visual and touch information when they reach to and grasp objects in the environment, why observing the movement of a human model (biological motion) alters our own actions, whereas observing a robot does not. To do this, we use motion capture and analysis technology, eye scanning, and computerized reaction time tasks.
