Research
Dr. Leventon examines the integration of emotion and memory processes in early child development. Specifically, she is interested in how emotion enhances memory performance. Her research features electrophysiology (ERPs), behavior, and self- and parent-report measures to inform understanding of emotion and memory. A current area of interest is examining when in the life of a memory- encoding, consolidation and storage, and/or retrieval- where emotion has an enhancing effect.
