David S. Moore, Ph.D.
Sometimes I look like this:
If you're here about my book, The Dependent Gene,
read no further! You can check out reviews and order the book from Barnes and Noble.com or from Amazon.com.
Happy reading!!
If you're here for some other reason, here's a bit of info about me. In 1989, I came to work as
an assistant professor of psychology at Pitzer College,
one of The Claremont Colleges in Southern California.
I arrived at Pitzer fresh from my postdoctoral fellowship at The City University of New York.
Prior to that, I completed my Ph.D. in The Department of Psychology at Harvard University,
where my advisor was Jerome Kagan (and where I learned a lot from J. Steven Reznick).
Before that, I was an undergraduate at Tufts University, where I'd arrived direct from
Cleveland, Ohio, home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
After spending the 2004-2006 academic years teaching and doing research in
New York City, I returned to Claremont, to pick up where I'd left off. My office at Pitzer is currently in Broad Hall.
In the "other stuff" department....
This is a picture of my beloved dog, James Taylor. A click on his picture

Wanna see a slide show? These are pictures from my travels...
I teach a variety of courses at Pitzer, including the following:
In addition, I am the Director of The Claremont Infant Study Center (also in Broad Hall).
At the center, we are busy conducting a variety of studies on cognition and perception in infancy, including research on
categorization, number perception, and (in collaboration with Melanie J. Spence at the University of Texas, Dallas)
perception of Infant-Directed speech.
