Research interests
My main research topic is infant-object interaction. I am currently investigating the relationship between the function of an object and its affordance for action in infancy (both behaviorally as well as with the Tobii eye-tracking system). Other scientific interests are the interactionist approach to ontogenetic and phylogenetic development, theory of mind/false belief, (social) imitation, (probabilistic) epigenetic processes, comparative psychology/primatology, and basically all interdisciplinary approaches in the social sciences.
