Forschungsschwerpunkte Entwicklungspsychologie
Wir erforschen natürliche Ursprünge der kognitiven und kulturellen Entwicklung, sowie kognitive, neuronale, und soziale Mechanismen der Veränderung im Säuglings- und Kindesalter. In experimentellen settings und Längsschnittstudien nutzen wir interaktive Handlungsparadigmen, Blickbewegungsmessungen, und neurophysiologische Maße wie Pupillendurchmesser und das EEG.
