Personal Statement
I am interested in early language and cognitive development. My research program focuses on three aspects that contribute to language learning: 1) learning mechanisms, 2) the input children receive in real-time interaction, and 3) how young children’s sensory experience (e.g., with or without hearing loss) influences input and affects learning. I uses multiple methodologies (screen-based experiments, head-mounted eye-tracking, and high-density linguistic and gaze analyses) to investigate how infants, young children, and adults seek information and learn.
