Amy Ahn

Amy Ahn is Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences. Her research examines social and emotional development through computer vision analysis of parent-child interactions.

Primary research areas include:

• Affective responsivity in infant-parent dyads
• Attachment pattern development
• Social communication in autism spectrum disorders
• School-based mental health interventions

Recent publications utilize innovative methods like computer vision and audio signal processing to objectively measure social behaviors during diagnostic assessments and natural interactions.

Her work on the still-face paradigm demonstrates novel connections between micro-level interaction patterns and later attachment classifications.
