Dr. Stanton is interested in the developmental psychobiology of learning and memory and its applications to developmental neurobehavioral disorders. His current research focuses on the development and neural bases of incidental learning using various contextual fear conditioning and novel object recognition paradigms. This work is an extension of his interest in ontogeny of multiple memory systems in rodents and humans that has involved the eyeblink conditioning paradigm. Dr. Stanton uses Pavlovian conditioning and novel-object paradigms in animal model studies of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). He also studies eyeblink conditioning in children with FASD through a collaboration with Drs. Joseph and Sandra Jacobson and their collaborators at the University of Capetown Health Sciences, South Africa. The broad goals of Dr. Stanton’s research are to better understand the ontogeny of brain memory systems in a manner that addresses mechanisms and treatments for FASD in human populations.
