Research summary
AI-generated

Karin H. James studies how physical actions and multiple senses shape learning, perception, and brain activity. Much of the work examines how handwriting, gesture, and hands-on manipulation of objects support skills like reading, letter recognition, math learning, and 3D object recognition, often in children. Some recent publications also touch on attention (ADHD) and its links to motor development.
