Marcia Barnes

Ph.D. (McMaster), C. Psych., Professor.

Research Interests:

Barnes studies how children develop skills in reading comprehension and mathematics by investigating the developmental precursors of these skills in typically developing infants and preschoolers and in those at neurobiological or environmental risk for later learning difficulties.
