Tanya M. Paes studies early childhood development, focusing on how pretend play, guided play interventions, and teacher-child relationships influence young children's self-regulation, language skills, and school readiness, including in English Language Learners from low-income families. Her work also extends to cognitive development in school-aged children and psychosocial outcomes in pediatric populations, such as friendship quality among childhood brain tumor survivors. Prospective students would likely work on classroom- or school-based intervention studies examining links between play, executive function, and academic and social outcomes.
