I’m a third-year Bachelor’s student in Psychology, specialising in Brain & Cognition and Psychological Methods, with a strong interest in infant research. To me, infancy is the most exciting period to study the mind and brain: at no other time do cognition and neural systems change so rapidly. It’s also when the foundational capacities that later support complex human thought begin to emerge. I’m especially interested in how infants develop core cognitive functions, such as understanding causality, representing objects, and making sense of other people’s mental states.
