Dr. George Michel, Professor Emeritus and former Psychology Dept Head, has won the 2023 Senior Investigator Award from the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology.
From the citation: “[Michel’s] book Developmental Psychobiology (published in 1995 with Celia L. Moore) helped define the field. His empirical work on infant handedness demonstrated how self-generated experiences contributed to the development of the right bias in human handedness. Recently, he and his students used sophisticated statistical modeling techniques to identify and chart four distinctively different trajectories in the development of handedness during infancy and early childhood that predicted differences in the development of tool-use ability, artifact construction skills, language production and comprehension, executive functioning, and problem-solving ability in children.
