Linda B. Smith studies how infants and young children learn and develop, with a focus on how babies' everyday visual experiences and body movements shape their attention, learning of object names, and language development. Her recent work also examines how children build mathematical understanding, such as place value and multidigit numbers, and draws connections between infant learning and artificial intelligence.
