We are interested in the cognitive development of typical children. Our focus is on preschool children. We are interested in topics such as children's episodic memory, children's ability to identify objects, children as witnesses, children's social cognition, causal thinking and problem solving.
In 1996, we established the first experimental developmental psychology ‘lab’ in Denmark, and our laboratory facilities provide ample opportunity to carry out a wide range of experimental studies, including the use of eye tracking.
The studies were supported by external grants from the Danish Council for Independent Research (Culture and Communication) networks, the Danish National Research Foundation and the Velux Foundation.
