OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Daphna Buchsbaum, an associate professor at John Brown University, conducts research encompassing a diverse array of topics, including human-animal interactions, child and animal learning development, primate behavior and ecology, language and cultural evolution, and the cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills. Her work in human-animal interaction is exemplified by her participation in the ManyDogs Project, a large-scale collaborative study investigating canine behavior and cognition, as well as research into domestic dogs' sensitivity to the accuracy of human informants. Buchsbaum's additional work includes cross-cultural comparisons of causal learning, counterfactual reasoning, and pretend play in children.

Her primary research interest lies in interdisciplinary approaches to understanding cognitive development across species.
