Research Interests
Dr. Hall’s areas of interest are the causes and treatments for childhood disorders, such as autism, fragile X, and Williams syndrome. Dr. Hall studies methods for understanding how environmental factors can affect the development of aberrant behaviors in these syndromes. The end goal of his research is to create patient-specific methods for treating cognitive and behavioral symptoms through the use of operant conditioning, social skills training, computer training packages, and fMRI analyses.
