A substantial project on the dynamic antecedents of criminal recidivism has been recently completed. This is in part an extension of our previous work on how criminal offenders cope, i. e, how they interact with their environment, but more generally it is an attempt to elucidate what happens in (re) offending. The results will be reported in a monograph entitled The criminal recidivism process (publisher not yet determined). At present, we are moving on to the problem of predicting recidivism; by using psychologically relevant dynamic measures, we expect to be able to improve on the accuracy of previous methods.

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.
