Margot Taylor's research investigates the neural bases of cognitive development, with a focus on areas such as the development of frontal lobe executive functions and social cognition. Her protocols are adapted for children, and current studies employ functional MRI, MEG, and structural MRI techniques. This research includes normative series and clinical populations, examining children with autism and those born preterm. Dr. Taylor aims to determine the neural bases and the temporal and spatial aspects of developmental abilities like emotional recognition, working memory, inhibition, set-shifting, and other cognitive skills that emerge during typical and atypical development. Her investigations also involve infants born preterm, exploring the impact of early brain development on cognitive outcomes.
