Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tara Johnson's research focuses on developmental assessments and outcomes in high-risk infant populations, particularly concerning cerebral palsy and congenital heart disease. Her work investigates the predictive value of neurological examination subscores and multimodal developmental assessments in identifying cerebral palsy risk. Johnson also examines developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart disease and the feasibility of neuroimaging techniques in fetuses with cyanotic congenital heart disease. Her publications include studies on the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment, and the impact of training on inter-rater reliability. She has also contributed to research on G-tube placement in infants with Robin sequence and the use of cognitive enhancers by resident nurse anesthetists. Johnson holds an h-index of 11 with 55 total publications and 560 citations. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alexa Celeste Escapita and Namarta Kapil.
