Alayna Shoenfelt’s research interests focus on understanding the underlying cognitive and socioemotional processes used by individuals to perceive and interact with their social environments, and how they change with aging. She is currently using eye-tracking techniques to understand how older adults process faces with socially-relevant cues such as eye gaze direction after chronic administration of oxytocin. She is also involved in investigating the cognitive, socioemotional, and neurobiological risk factors of susceptibility to online deception across the adult lifespan.
