Keith received a BA in Psychology from Northwestern University
in 1996. As an undergraduate researcher he studied the cognitive
neuroscience of adults with simulated brain impairments. After
graduation he spent three years at the University of Kansas
Medical Center researching the developmental cognitive neuroscience
of Down's syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. He then moved to
Springfield, Missouri, where he earned an M.S. in Psychology
from Southwest Missouri State University in 2001. His thesis,
Heart Rate Period-Defined Allocations of Attention Within
a Visual Discrimination Learning Task, will soon be submitted
for publication as part of a larger work detailing individual
differences in attention and learning in adults and infants.
Keith's current interests revolve around infant attention, early
word learning, categorization, and cognitive rule learning all
from an information processing point of view. Keith is also
an avid backpacker and runner.
