I study cognitive development with a focus on how humans learn words and concepts.
My research explores why children find certain ideas - like numbers and other abstract concepts - difficult to understand, how learning language shapes our understanding of these concepts, and the role that our social context plays in children's early cognitive development.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Kristina Olson's Human Diversity Lab at Princeton University and the University of Washington. |
