Thesis title: Infants’ attention to others’ social interactions in the second half of the first year of life
Research Interests
In my research I study social attentional precursors of early social learning in infancy, primarily focusing on developments in the first year of life. So far, I have used eye-tracking related measures, pupillometry, and behavioral observations to gain an understanding of how infants perceive others and how this relates to developments in their own social behavior.
