  • Autism spectrum disorder research
  • Tactile and sensory interactions
  • Infant health and development
  • Language development and disorders
  • Categorization, perception, and language

David J. Lewkowicz has published papers in journals that cover developmental and cognitive processes. Frequent publication venues include:

  • Infancy
  • Cognition
  • Developmental Psychobiology
  • Language Cognition and Neuroscience
  • American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Selected recent papers by Lewkowicz include:

  • Highly proficient L2 speakers still need to attend to a talker's mouth when processing L2 speech (2020, Language Cognition and Neuroscience)
  • Does any mother's body odor stimulate interest in mother's face in 4-month-old infants? (2020, Infancy)
  • Stability of Variables Derived From Measures of Multisensory Function in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (2020, American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities)
  • Attention to audiovisual speech does not facilitate language acquisition in infants with familial history of autism (2022, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)
  • Mechanisms by Which Early Eye Gaze to the Mouth During Multisensory Speech Influences Expressive Communication Development in Infant Siblings of Children with and Without Autism (2022, Mind Brain and Education)

Among frequent co-authors who have collaborated with Lewkowicz are Joan Birulés, Ferrán Pons, Mark T. Wallace, Laura Bosch, and Jacob I. Feldman.

In 2004, David J. Lewkowicz was recognized as a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA).
