PhD project
My PhD project seeks to investigate the relationship between environmental input and direct and indirect measures of language outcomes in 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 project here. Open Science Framework project pages with pre-registrations of the various sub-projects will be updated below.
- Native and non-native vowel discrimination in 6-month-old Norwegian infants
- Word comprehension in 9-month-old Norwegian infants
- Voice onset time in Norwegian infant-directed speech over development
