I have been teaching in Higher Education since 2003.

I mainly teach courses in child language development and neurolinguistics, but also in research methodology, experimental design, project and thesis courses, both in English and Swedish.

I am interested in how children develop language in interaction with their environment, using cognitive neuroscience methods. My focus lies on early language development during infancy, toddlerhood and the preschool years, and how this process manifests in the brain. I study infant- and child-directed speech, parent-child interaction and the neural basis of speech perception and turn-taking in adults and infants. 

Language is a core cognitive ability that sets the path for children's later development on many levels. That is why I work to identify factors that promote children's language development and advocate language-building interaction strategies for families and preschool staff.
