Overview

Robbin Gibb is affiliated with the University of Lethbridge in Canada and has contributed extensively to the fields of psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. Their main areas of study include social psychology, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, cognitive neuroscience, developmental and educational psychology, and behavioral neuroscience.

The research topics covered by Robbin Gibb focus on neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, infant development and preterm care, stress responses and cortisol, early childhood education and development, cognitive abilities and testing, autism spectrum disorder research, and hemispheric asymmetry in neuroscience.

Robbin Gibb has authored and co-authored multiple research papers, including these recent publications:

  • "Promoting Executive Function Skills in Preschoolers Using a Play-Based Program," 2021, Frontiers in Psychology
  • "The association between sedentary behavior and cognitive ability in older adults," 2020, Aging Clinical and Experimental Research
  • "Atypical play experiences in the juvenile period has an impact on the development of the medial prefrontal cortex in both male and female rats," 2022, Behavioural Brain Research
  • "A Neural Network Reveals Motoric Effects of Maternal Preconception Exposure to Nicotine on Rat Pup Behavior: A New Approach for Movement Disorders Diagnosis," 2021, Frontiers in Neuroscience
  • "Building executive function in pre-school children through play: a curriculum," 2020, International Journal of Play

Frequent co-authors in their work include Claudia L. R. Gonzalez, Bryan Kolb, Lara A. Coelho, Serena Jenkins, and Allonna Harker.
