Research Interests

My research focuses on categorisation as a main mechanism of semantic organization. I am particularly interested in the relationship between categorisation and fundamental cognitive processes such as learning and memory. I am conducting my research under the supervision of Professor Kim Plunkett and Dr Nadja Althaus. 

In my research I will be using eye tracking and ERP techniques in order to compare infant and adult categorisation. I aim to address the question of whether the ability to categorize changes qualitatively during development or if one mechanism can account for the observed differences.
