Assessed behavioral responses to social contact, environmental exposure, and isolation during early developmental phases.
Identified distinct critical periods during puppyhood wherein exposure to social stimuli uniquely determines long-term social capacity.
Observed that inadequate or disrupted social interactions during sensitive windows precipitate maladaptive behaviors, including persistent fear and avoidance responses.
