Rebecca (Becky) Beaton

PhD Student

B.S., 2022, University of California, Davis (Cognitive Science & Statistics)

Rebecca (Becky) graduated from UC Davis in Spring of 2022. As an undergraduate, she was a research assistant for the UC Davis Infant Cognition Lab, which sparked her passion for research in developmental psychology. Becky is interested in understanding how children learn to reason about cause and effect, the role explanation plays in children’s cognitive reasoning, and how this varies between children with and without autism. She uses both behavioral experiments and computational modeling in her research projects!
