Current research:
My research focuses on the relationship between bilingual infants鈥� word learning and the complexity of their caregivers鈥� speech. My thesis work also examines the interplay between language dominance and infant phonological development in verbal interactions with caregivers. Methodologically, I primarily specialize in valid and reliable sampling strategies from daylong audio recordings as well as remote infant speech perception testing.
