Current specific interests include psychophysiological studies of emotional and attentional processes during emotional imagery, the psychophysiology of social interaction, the development of emotion, and the effect of ethnic/cultural differences and social context on the expression of emotion and on social interaction. My clinical interests involve intellectual assessment and the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders. Selected publicationsBeckham, J. C., Dennis, M. F., McClernon, F. J., Mozley, S.
