About Me
My research investigates individual differences in children’s language acquisition. In particular, I am interested in how the speed of automatization predicts differences in children’s linguistic ability. This is part of a large-scale research project investigating first and second language acquisition and attainment, led by Professor Ewa Dąbrowska. My research explores typical and atypical language development (for example, developmental language disorder).
