I am interested in the origins and emergence of human social interaction, cognition and communication.
My research focuses on infants' gestural communication, in particular the emergence of the pointing gesture; the role of prelinguistic infants' social-interactional input across different cultures; infants' understanding of mental states; and infants' expectations of and motivation for joint collaborative acting.

My work is carried out in the
Communication Before Language Group
