Dr. Kiley Hamlin, is Director of the UBC Centre for Infant Cognition. Her research focuses on the earliest developmental origins of humans’ sociomoral judgments in infancy, guided by theories of the evolution of cooperation. In order to study the foundational origins of these processes before complex cognitive abilities and the influences of cultural norms and values, she examines these questions using preverbal infants and young toddlers.
