 I am generally interested in children's social cognition. Specifically, I am interested in how children use the people in their environment to support their cognitive development. Previously, my research has focused on how factors such as past reliability and information type affect children's information seeking. Currently, I am exploring how similar factors, such as conventionality, partner capability, and situational constraints affect children's social interactions in the domains of prosocial and cooperative behaviour.
