ד"ר ליאור אברמזון ויסמן

Dr. Abramson-Vaisman has completed her PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the guidance of prof. Ariel Knafo-Noam, where she studied the development of individual differences in empathic behaviors from infancy to early adolescence. She then moved to a postdoctoral position at Columbia University in the City of New York. During her postdoctoral period, she studied how attachment relationships and adverse caregiving experiences (e.g., abuse, neglect) shape emotional behaviors such as fear and reward learning, exploration, emotion differentiation, and emotion regulation in children and adolescents. Dr. Abramson-Vaisman will join the school of psychological science in July 2025.
