Computational modeling is central to a rigorous understanding of the development of the child’s first social relationships. The project addresses this challenge by modeling longitudinal change in the dynamics of early social interactions. Our proposed models integrate objective (automated) measurements of emotion and attention and common genetic variants relevant to those constructs. This project is supported by funding from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
