Pressing This laboratory is concerned with developing quantitative models of human skill and skill learning. These tasks are examined behaviourally and also via EEG monitoring, using dynamical systems and autoregressive techniques. Volunteers are often required for participation in such studies. Assoc Prof Ann Sanson Research in this laboratory is investigating aspects of young children's social development. Currently we are focusing on the development of aggressive behaviour problems, social withdrawal and anxiety in young children and the role of child temperament, parenting behaviour and social context in the development of these behaviours.
Studies are mainly longitudinal in design.
The laboratory is supported by grants from the ARC and VicHealth. To date, the laboratory has supported ten fourth-year student projects and there is also currently one PhD student and one clinical doctoral student working in the laboratory.
