I am a developmental psychologist interested in how infants learn from everyday experience. My research combines naturalistic observation, head-mounted eye tracking, behavioral experiments, and computational methods to understand how attention, action, and language interact during early learning. 

I'm currently an NIH F32-funded postdoctoral research fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, where I work with Chen Yu in the Developing Intelligence Lab. I received my Ph.D. in Psychology (concentration in Developmental Psychology) from New York University, where I was advised by Karen Adolph and Catherine Tamis-LeMonda. Before graduate school, I earned my B.A. in Psychology from UCLA.

Feel free to explore my research, publications, and current projects. If you'd like to learn more about my work or are interested in collaborating, I'd be delighted to hear from you. You can reach me at brianna.kaplan@austin.utexas.edu
