Brief Biographical Sketch:

My name is Karina and I am currently in my second year of my PhD in Developmental Psychology. My work focuses on how children and adults estimate time and number. Moreover, I am interested in how this basic quantitative processing relates to more advanced math abilities. Ultimately, I hope to be a professor at a liberal arts school where I can pursue my dream of teaching at the collegiate level.

Did you know that babies and even guppies know something about number? Whether we realize it or not, number and math is vital in our everyday interactions.

Topics may include: the relationship between our innate sense of number and our later math abilities, how social factors (such as: math anxiety, dyscalculia, and gender stereotypes) impact math performance.
