The award supports research on how risk for anxiety and depression affects affective neurodevelopment in preschool children, focusing on emotion processing and caregiver responses using computational modeling.
Description
This study aims to test a reinforcement model linking risk factors for anxiety and depression in preschool children by characterizing emotion processing development, fitting a reinforcement learning model to test caregiver response moderation, and testing if negative affect expression frequency influences these associations.
