Dr. Kelsey West serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Alabama, where she directs the Bama Baby Lab. Her research investigates infant learning during the first three years of life, focusing on how skills in one domain (such as motor development) influence learning across multiple areas including language and social communication. She studies neurotypical infants, autistic infants, and infants with language delays using laboratory experiments and naturalistic home observations. Her educational background includes: PhD in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh Postdoctoral fellowship at New York University Dr. West's research explores critical questions about developmental interconnectivity: How infants actively construct their learning environments How new skills (e.g., walking or pointing) create ripple effects across developmental domains How delays in one area impact overall developmental trajectories Patterns in infant-caregiver interactions and natural behavior Her work emphasizes autism spectrum disorder, language acquisition, and motor development through the lens of developmental cascades. Methodologically, she integrates real-time behavioral coding with natural language analysis to understand caregiver-infant dynamics. Analysis of Dr. West's publication record reveals consistent focus on motor-communication relationships, particularly during walking transition. Her research frequently examines infant siblings of children with autism as a population at heightened developmental risk, employing longitudinal designs to map cascading effects across domains. Naturalistic observation methods feature prominently in her approach to capturing authentic developmental processes. Dr. West is currently accepting graduate students into the Bama Baby Lab. While specific grant details aren't provided, her active research program investigating infant development across diverse populations indicates ongoing funding support. The Bama Baby Lab, located in Gordon Palmer Hall, Room 162C, employs innovative 'day-in-the-life' video recording techniques to document infants' natural learning environments. The lab collaborates with the Center for Innovative Research in Autism and focuses on translating developmental science into practical early intervention strategies for infants showing developmental variations.
