Research Area

Bailey is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Developmental and Evolutionary Psychology Program. She graduated with a B.S. in Psychology and Sociology from Florida State University and completed an M.S. in Cognitive Psychology in Context from Vanderbilt University. At Vanderbilt, Bailey served as the lab manager of the Language Development Lab and conducted research investigating the role of children’s domain expertise in their question asking behaviors. Bailey is broadly interested in children’s cognitive and social development, with a focus on what children’s question asking behaviors reveal about how they reason about others’ knowledge, intentions, and perspectives. Outside of the lab, she loves trying new coffee shops, spending time with loved ones, and going to the beach!
