Her research focuses on the early antecedents and health/mental health sequela of executive function and self-regulation in children and youth. In her recent publications, she has reported the relations between early parenting and children's temperament in the prediction of preschool executive functions and emotion regulation; the role of attention control in moderating relations between negative affect and neural correlates of action monitoring in adolescents; and the long-term effects of 9/11 on young toddlers and their mothers using a naturalistic, quasi-experimental design. email: ac3292@columbia.edu
