MCPARTLAND LAB

The McPartland Lab is now scheduling research and clinical visits again! To help prevent transmission of COVID-19, we are taking precautionary measures to ensure that you and your family are safe during your visit with us at Yale... The lab's work is empirical but is tied tightly to a theoretical framework, the social motivation hypothesis, proposing that early occurring difficulties in social drive, social perception, or social anxiety interfere with the typical levels of interpersonal engagement and derail social development. We seek to improve the methods of neuroscience by developing novel and more realistic ways to measure social brain function and associated behavior. By more closely approximating true social interactions, our research will be better positioned to shed light on the actual challenges experienced by people with ASD. We aim to translate our research directly into clinical applications supporting earlier detection of children with ASD and more effective treatments..
