Postdoctoral Researcher
How do we learn what to eat and what shapes our food behaviors? My research investigates this broad question. Notably, I study how infants and young children learn what is edible and what is not, both individually and with the help of others (for instance their caregivers). I use methods from developmental psychology to neuroscience to examine these questions across the entire lifespan.
