Research summary
AI-generated

Britt Singletary studies how caregiving arrangements beyond just the mother, sometimes called 'allomaternal care', influence early child development, including language and communication skills. Some of this research draws comparisons with pair-bonding and caregiving behavior in nonhuman primates, such as lemurs. The work bridges human development, family studies, and comparative animal behavior.
