Her research interests are in the area of social cognition and psychosocial functioning in children and adults with serious mental illness (particularly, bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders). Currently, she is examining the underlying mechanisms associated with emotion identification impairments in children and adults with bipolar disorder using eye tracking methodology (e.g., using eye-tracking to examine visual scanning for emotional faces and videos), and the extent to which these deficits may be related to impairments in social cognition and psychosocial functioning.
