J. Steven Reznick, Ph.D.

Dr. Reznick's primary research interest is infant memory, how memory changes over the first few years of life, and how these changes alter the infant and the infant's environment. His focus in that research has been short-term 'working memory' and aspects of long term memory such as deferred imitation, rule learning, and word comprehension.
