Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Graduate Program Seminar

Wednesday, Dec. 11, noon

STAR North Atrium

Successful social interaction is critical to development, well-being, and mental health. In this talk, Elizabeth Redcay discusses studies using naturalistic neuroimaging and behavioral approaches to examine factors that predict social interaction success in typically-developing youth and adults and youth on the autism spectrum. Redcay demonstrates that individual neural and cognitive factors alone (e.g., social-cognitive and social reward systems) are not sufficient and that the dyadic context (e.g., neurotype match, synchrony) should also be considered to effectively predict communication and social interaction success.

Redcay is a professor of psychology and member of the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS) program at the University of Maryland. Her research examines the development of social interactions and well-being from neural, cognitive, behavioral and environmental perspectives in youth and adults with and without autism. Redcay's research has been funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Mental Health and the Department of Defense.

A light lunch will be provided following the seminar.
