Research interests

The development of cognitive control

The ability to think and act in a flexible manner is a fundamental part of human cognition. My main research interest focuses on the cognitive mechanisms that allow children to think and act flexibly, in particular looking at the development of inhibitory control during early childhood. I’m also interested in looking at how other domain-general cognitive processes, including symbolic understanding and strategic reasoning, interact with executive skills.
