CV | email | Google Scholar | BlueSky
I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Lehigh University and received my PhD from UC San Diego. My research focuses on how infants and children understand their physical and social world—both separately and in tandem. As the PI of the Little Learners Lab, I’m committed to creating a research environment where early researchers can learn, grow, and thrive. Outside the lab, I’m usually reading fiction, at a trivia night, or making elaborate playlists I’ll never share with anyone.
Naomi Batarse
Lab Manager
I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a B.S. in Clinical Psychology. While an undergraduate, I worked as an RA in the UCSD SoCal Lab and focused on projects studying infants’ emotional responses following goal directed actions. In my spare time, I love to read and spend time with friends and family!
Interested in Joining the Lab?
As a research assistant in the Little Learners Lab, you will have the opportunity to gain experience in conducting research with infants and children. Research assistants in the lab are responsible for recruiting participants, conducting experiments, and coding data. Research assistants are also expected to attend weekly lab meetings with the rest of the lab members.
For undergraduate students at Lehigh, we offer class credit for PSYC 161. For post-bac students and students outside Lehigh, we are currently unable to offer paid positions, but may be able to offer volunteering opportunities.
