This program investigates the early development of perceptual and social capacities in infancy. This program is unique for two reasons. First, while most studies examine infants¿ prolonged perceptual development over months, the current project explores how neonates and infants can actively change their perception within seconds and how this cognitive capacity is impaired in pre-term infants. The finding will contribute to understand the origins of cognitive deficits by prematurity. Second, this project examines how social biases emerge as early as infancy. Identification of the origin of social biases offers an opportunity for mitigating the pervasive social biases in our society.

该计划研究了婴儿期感知和社会能力的早期发展。这个项目之所以独特，有两个原因。首先，虽然大多数研究都是在几个月内检查婴儿的长期知觉发展，但目前的项目探讨了新生儿和婴儿如何在几秒钟内积极改变他们的知觉，以及早产儿的这种认知能力如何受损。这一发现将有助于理解早产儿认知缺陷的起源。第二，这个项目研究了社会偏见是如何在婴儿期就出现的。确定社会偏见的起源为减轻我们社会中普遍存在的社会偏见提供了机会。
