Forschungsschwerpunkte
Ich interessiere mich für die biologischen und sozialen Ursprünge menschlicher Kognition und sozialer Interaktion. Ich untersuche die Objektverarbeitung und statistisches Lernen; Handlungsverständnis und Theory of Mind; vorsprachliche Kommunikation, Gesten, und Temperamentsunterschiede. Ich nutze phylogenetische, ontogenetische, und kulturelle Ansätze zur menschlichen Entwicklung. Ich nutze eine Vielzahl von Paradigmen, von neurophysiologischen Maßen zu interaktionsbasierten Experimenten.
