Our research projects focus on the socio-cognitive development of infants and toddlers and its influencing factors (e.g. different parenting-styles, cultural parameters etc.).
We primarily look at processes within the first two years of life. Some aspects of our research questions, we address looking at preschoolers and elementary students.
