| Key words: |
cognitive development, developmental psychology, psychopathology, longitudinal research, anxiety disorders, reading disorder, language disorder |
| Research interests: |
My research concerns the interplay between child cognitive characteristics and developmental psychopathology. In the coming year, I will focus on the development of social and affective understanding in children with behavioural inhibition (a temperamental characterisltic). This work will form the basis of future prospective studies on risk and resilience in the development of anxiety disorders. |
