Julia Parish-Morris
I am a PhD candidate in Developmental Psychopathology at Temple University, and I am working on my dissertation studies at the Center for Autism Research. My studies are designed to clarify the relationship between spatial/temporal cognition, social inference, and language outcome in 3- to 6-year-old children diagnosed with autism. My research method includes eye-gaze tracking technology that records where on a television screen a child looks, how long they look at each part of the screen, and their sequence of looking to different aspects of a scene. The wealth of information gained from gaze tracking provides insight into how children with autism process the complex world around them.
In addition to spatial and language research, I am very interested in the development of social compensatory strategies over time, beginning at the earliest point: the brain. I would like to explore the neural correlates of social inferential processing, such as intentionality and goal detection. By integrating multiple methodologies that capture information at various processing points (EEG, gaze tracking, behavioral) into a single study, I will endeavor to develop a clear picture of early precursors to Theory of Mind development in toddlers and preschoolers with autism.
