When I first came in contact with Developmental Psychology during my Bachelor of Psychology, I immediately started marveling at all the creative ways psychologists set out to understand the kaleidoscopic minds of babies and children. Understanding children and babies from an adult’s perspective can be challenging. But bridging the gap between our two worlds is absolutely central to ensuring babies and children’s health, happiness and safety- it can also teach us a lot about who we are as adults!
To gather more experience in the field of developmental psychology I’m currently doing an internship at the Babylab where I’m supporting Elin and Rosalie on their research on Habituation, exploring how babies respond and adapt to different stimuli.
