Kurzinfo
The emphasis of my research is on the acquisition of language during child development. Specifically, I am concerned with lexical, semantic, morphological, and prosodic aspects of word processing and acquisition. In our current project we investigate how children process emotional information in words and faces, and how these two modes of communication interact. My goal is to combine psycholinguistic and clinical research, and to translate our research outcomes into clinical practice.
