Kort presentation
Jag är docent och arbetar som forskare i utvecklingspsykologi på Uppsala Barn- & BabyLab. I min forskning är jag intresserad av att förstå hur små barn uppfattar och interagerar med sin omvärld, samt hur olika erfarenheter formar utvecklingen av kognitiva, sociala och språkliga färdigheter under tidig barndom.
