About

Beth A. Smith is an Associate Professor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. Her research areas include physical activity in pre-ambulatory children, anticipatory gaze in infants, wearable sensor calibration, and the relationship between EEG power and cognitive development. She has contributed to various studies examining leg movement in infants at risk of developmental disabilities, as well as the impact of social support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
