Lauren McGuinness

I am currently a Research Assistant working alongside Dr Alicia Forsberg on a project examining how memory, meta-cognition, and learning develop during childhood and adolescence. I am also a PhD student at the University of Kent. My research investigates how the relevance, timing, or speed of a speaker’s responses might impact the social impressions of autistic and neurotypical children. I am also interested in children’s own conversation production skills, including factors which might affect the timing of their responses.
