A developmental psychologist, her research interests lie at the intersection of cognition, emotion, and imagination in early to middle childhood. Her current research explores how children understand the world: Do they understand it primarily in terms of natural causes or are they disposed, from an early age, to invoke supernatural causes? To answer this question, she studies how children learn what is real and what is possible, and the role played by culture in this process.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Previously, Dr. Payir was as a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University, Department of Psychology, where she focused on the development of moral cognition. Her studies explored children\u2019s and adults\u2019 judgments of intentional versus accidental harm, and the correlates of prosocial behavior. Dr. Payir\u2019s work has appeared in several books and academic journals, including <em>Developmental Psychology<\/em>, <em>Journal of Experimental Psychology<\/em>, and <em>Cognitive Science<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Pronouns: she\/her<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"profile-section-label\">Recent News<\/h3>\n\n","protected":false},"author":6045,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/39930"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6045"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/39930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72717,"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/39930\/revisions\/72717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
