PhD project

My PhD project seeks to investigate the relationship between environmental input (so-called "infant-directed speech") and direct and indirect measures of infants' language outcomes, including a longitudinal sample, following Norwegian infants from 6 to 18 months of age. The project PI is Natalia Kartushina, in collaboration with Julien Mayor and Alejandrina Cristia. Read more about the longitudinal project here. Open Science Framework project pages with pre-registrations of the various sub-projects will be updated below.
