Tess Fulcher studies how infants and toddlers learn about the world around them through exploration and social interaction. Particularly, Fulcher is interested in how early individual differences cascade into later shifts in other developmental areas. Current work focuses on the development of children's help-seeking as a problem-solving strategy, using in-person, online, and archival data across multiple age points. Prior work has investigated relations between children’s early motor abilities and later social cognition.
