Dr. Lior Abramson-Vaisman
Principle Investigator
I am a researcher at the School of Psychological Sciences and the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University. I completed my Ph.D. at the Lab of Social Development at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I examined the development of individual differences in empathic behaviors from infancy through early adolescence. I then pursued postdoctoral training at the Developmental Affective Neuroscience Lab at Columbia University, where my work focused on how attachment relationships and adverse caregiving experiences (e.g., abuse, neglect, and parental abandonment) shape neural and emotional behaviors in youth. My current research focuses on how emotional processes such as fear, exploration, emotion differentiation, and emotion regulation develop across childhood and adolescence, and how close relationships shape these processes.
