Biography

Amanda Tarullo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Boston University. Her research focuses on the effects of early experiences on neural and behavioral development in infants and young children. She specifically examines how early life stress shapes the developing brain and the neurodevelopmental mechanisms that link early life stress to child outcomes. Utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) measures, she identifies patterns of infant brain activity that predict socio-emotional and cognitive functioning in early childhood. Her studies encompass both typically developing and at-risk populations, delving into both normative and atypical neurodevelopmental processes. The ultimate aim of Tarullo’s research is to understand how children who experience early life stress can be resilient and avoid enduring developmental problems.
