Dare Baldwin, Mentor
Psychology

Joshua Tabaldo, McNair Scholar

Prof. Dare Baldwin received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1989 and joined the UO Psychology Department in 1993. Her research concerns language and cognitive development in infancy and early childhood with a primary interest in the mechanisms by which infants and young children acquire knowledge to guide future learning and action. She investigates skills that enable infants to make sense of others' actions in terms of the goals and intentions motivating those actions. Her publications include Intentions and Intentionality: Foundations of Social Cognition (ed. with B. Malle and L. Moses), Cambridge Press (2001); “Interpersonal Understanding Fuels Knowledge Acquisition,” Current Directions in Psychological Science (2000); and “Discerning Intentions in Dynamic Human Action” (with J. A. Baird), Trends in Cognitive Sciences, (2001).
