Video uniquely captures the richness and complexity of behavior and the surrounding context, making it a remarkably informative source of raw data, eminently suitable for research reuse (Adolph, 2016 Gilmore & Adolph, in press). The technology is inexpensive, easy to use, and readily available (including consumer-grade, high-definition video cameras, smart phones, webcams, and first-person-view head-mounted cameras).
We believe that researchers will improve the quality of their behavioral data and the reproducibility of their methods by adopting video, a simple yet immensely powerful recording method (Adolph, 2016 Gilmore & Adolph, 2017). Critics - both within and outside academia - worry that psychological research is unacceptably esoteric, expensive, and inconsistent (Chambers, 2017 Ferguson, 2015 Munafo et al., 2017 Open Science Collaboration, 2015 Szucs & Ioannidis, 2017 Yong, 2016). Progress in psychological science depends on informative, useful, and reliable behavioral data. As the scientific support specialist for Databrary, Kennedy promotes the sharing and reuse of research videos. Her research focuses on language and literacy development in early childhood, including program evaluation and the role of family engagement and access to resources in infant growth and development. Kennedy received her bachelor's degree from Brown University, and her PhD from New York University. Gilmore earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University and his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University. He helped to found Penn State's imaging center and served as its inaugural director. Gilmore is the co-director of the Databrary and Datavyu projects. His work has been supported by a CAREER award, project awards from the National Science Foundation, and by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Gilmore is an associate professor of psychology at The Pennsylvania State University, where he studies perceptual and cognitive development using behavioral, neuroimaging and computational methods. Adolph’s research on perceptual-motor learning and development has been continually funded by the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation since 1991. Fantz Memorial Award, the APA Boyd McCandless Award, the ICIS Young Investigator Award, FIRST and MERIT awards from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and five teaching awards from NYU. Adolph received a James McKeen Cattell Sabbatical Award, the American Psychological Foundation’s Robert L. She is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science and was president of the International Congress on Infant Studies. She received her bachelor's degree from Sarah Lawrence College and her PhD from Emory University, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She leads the Databrary project to enable open sharing of research video and maintains the Datavyu video coding tool. Adolph is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at New York University.
