@saraannhart (twitter)
I am a developmental psychologist with specific interests in individual differences in cognitive development. My ongoing research is integrative and multidisciplinary, utilizing theories and methodologies from psychology, education, and behavioral genetics.
Beyond my research, I am passionate about training, dissemination of research and advocating for women in science. I am the PI of the Florida Learning Disabilities Research Center Engagement Core, with a mission to provide specialized training opportunities to students and postdocs, and disseminate our research to our community. I am a co-founder of POWER, an association with the mission to connect, support, and advocate for women conducting research in the fields of education and child development.
Outside of work you will probably see me at a local race (running that is), or at a local restaurant.
Oh, and I'm Canadian.

Dr. Hart is part of the Center for Developmental Science (CDS). The CDS is a group of faculty at FSU who all do research related to child development. CDS is recruiting families interested in being part of a registry of families interested in participating in research. Click the picture below to go to the CDS website to learn more!
Graduate Students
Rasheda Haughbrook, MS
6th year Ph.D. Student
McKnight Fellow
I am a sixth year Developmental Psychology student. I am interested in understanding the interplay between our genes and the environments around us and how these things help shape who we become. I am specifically interested in the novel ways the environment can be defined, and how it can be manipulated to encourage and enrich individual outcomes. On a personal note, I am a closeted introvert, so I have moments of thoroughly enjoying the company of others and other moments of intense solitude. I am a new mom, so I spend much of my time hanging out with my little Nia. In my “free time” I thoroughly enjoy arcades and bowling.
Mia Daucourt, BS
3rd year Ph.D. Student
Legacy Fellow
Mia researches executive functioning and the bioecological factors that affect academic achievement. She is interested in the environmental and genetic influences on school outcomes and how education can be individualized to a student's unique learning needs, especially in relation to that child's executive functioning and self regulatory abilities. Her goal is to develop and refine empirically based models and paradigms to help educators better understand the mechanisms underlying executive functioning in order to identify students who need intervention, focusing on preventative methodologies. By understanding a student's executive functioning profile, she hopes to gain insight into the student's learning potential and needs, thus improving his or her chances for school success.

Jeffrey Shero, MPA
1st year Ph.D. Student
I am a first year Developmental Psychology student. I am interested in how factors related to students’ home and school environments affect the way they learn and acquire knowledge. Coming from a background in public policy work, I am interested in how we can use our understandings of these environmental factors to better develop curriculum and school assessment standards. My hope in studying this is to help school evaluators, teachers, and administrators put less emphasis on standardized testing. I also have interests in exploring and developing new methodologies in the field of psychology. On the personal side, I am passionate about cooking, eating and basically anything related to food, and I love to workout.

Kimberly Martinez, BS
Kimberly is the project coordinator for NatPAT. She graduated from FSU in 2016 with her B.S. in psychology, and plans on pursuing her PhD in clinical psychology in the future. Her research interests include eating pathology in adolescents and young adults, and the mechanisms that drive obsessive eating and exercise behavior. In her free time, she enjoys '70s music, competitive cooking shows, and all things dachshund

Former Graduate Students
Connie Barroso, MA
Connie was a graduate student Research Assistant in the IDCd lab for three years, before moving on to the Developmental Psychology Ph.D. program at FSU! She'll still be working closely with the lab, as her advisor is our close colleague Dr. Colleen Ganley.

Callie Little, Ph.D.
Callie defended her dissertation August 2016, and is currently at the University of New England, Australia, working with Drs. Will Conventry & Brian Bryne as a post-doc!
Dr. Little's research interests are in behavioral genetics, technology as it pertains to assessment, classroom instruction and achievement and all things developmental. She is a terrible singer and a pretty bad chess player. Her strong points are too numerous to list, but I'll mention two: she recycles. She likes spiral Macaroni and Cheese.
