Rachel Barr, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology at Georgetown University and Director of the Georgetown Early Learning Project. Children are remarkable learners but many face remarkable challenges. Barr is primarily interested in how between how they pick up information so rapidly from the world around them. She has investigated how children bridge the gap between what they learn from media and how they apply that information in the real world. She is the author of the 2024 book Early Childhood and Digital Media and has worked with a parenting organization to disseminate the knowledge via Zero to Three’s Screensense resources.
