Research: brief description
I am a developmental social cognitive neuroscientist studying the ontogeny and development of human social cognition with a particular interest in the kind of skills that enable infants to learn from others. I use both behavioural (looking-time, eye-tracking) and neuroimaging (EEG, fNIRS, EMG) methods to ask what cognitive and neural mechanisms support infants’ early social cognitive abilities.
I am PI at the Centre for Early Childhood Cognition.
