Research Interests
My PhD project is investigating the development of collaborative problem solving in toddlers. I am interested in how children learn to work with other people, from parents and siblings to other children, and what collaboration looks like at this age. To investigate this I am primarily using fNIRS hyperscanning to measure neural synchrony between toddlers and their partners during collaboration.
