Research interests

I am interested in developmental psychology, particularly in how children acquire and develop language and the cognitive processes that influence this. My PhD research investigated the development of syntactic representations and ambiguity resolution in children. More specifically, I examined how the choice of analysis in sentence comprehension is influenced by recent language experience, specifically through structural priming.

Research group

Cognitive and neural processes across the lifespan
