Bio: Dani is a first year graduate student in developmental psychology.  She received a B.A. in Psychology and Biology from Williams College in 2010, completing her senior honors thesis linking the syntax and acoustics of birdsong to the brain space for those properties.  She then spent a year working as research coordinator for a study on the use of TMS in Alzheimer’s patients.  At Temple, she is working in the Infant Lab with Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, exploring how infants parse the continuous world into discrete categorical units and how this process may be foundational for verb learning.
