Staff profile

• My research explores attitudes, experiences, social behaviour, and development in people & non-human primates.
• I mostly use observational & self-report approaches to better understand varied perspectives on infant/children's experiences, raising children, how children develop, & experiences living with ADHD. I also compare experience, communication, and development across human & non-human primates.
• I'm currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on a multi cultural project using naturalistic video footage to explore social learning biases in children and adolescents.
