Dr. Laplante is a Research Associate at the Douglas Institute Research Centre. He collaborates with Dr. Suzanne King as a Co-Investigator on several research studies, and is the Project Manager on 5 large, federally funded, prospective longitudinal studies: Project Ice Storm, the Iowa Floods Study, and, the Queensland Flood Study, Fort McMurray Fire Study, and the Hurricane Harvey Flood Study. He is also taught courses on Developmental Psychology at Vanier College.
Dr. Laplante earned his Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Windsor, 1996, where his primary area of research was in assessing the visual processing abilities in neonates. Dr. Laplante was a Medical Research Council of Canada funded Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Groupe de recherche sur l’inadaptation psychosociale chez l’enfant (GRIP), Université de Montréal between 1996 and 2001 where he was involved with the Québec Twin Study.
Dr. Laplante’s areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- assessment of basic visual and auditory processes at birth and during infancy;
- investigating the utility of basic neonatal and infant visual and auditory processes in predicting subsequent behavioral and cognitive problems;
- investigating the effect of exposure to prenatal teratogens (including prenatal maternal stress) on cognitive, linguistic, and behavioral outcomes during infancy and early childhood;
- assessing the relationship between prenatal teratogens (including prenatal maternal stress) on brain morphology; and,
- assessing the relationship between brain morphology and cognitive, linguistic, and behavioural outcomes in children.
