Description:

I defended my doctoral thesis "Emergence of words: Multisensory precursors of sound-meaning-associations in infancy" and received my Ph.D. in Phonetics in March 2008, at the Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden. Before that I have my background in Computational Linguistics (MA, 2000), and in Phonetics (MA, 2001).

Currently I am working as a postdoctoral resercher in Phonetics and I am responsible for the project "Early development of hemispheric specialization for speech processing"  (funded by The Swedish Research Council) during years 2010-2012.

My research interests are language acquisition in general, and infant cognitive neuroscience in particular. For example, I investigate early behavioural and cortical signs of semantic processing and word learning measured with eye-tracking and EEG/ERP. In extension I am interested in modelling childrens' language capacities and I therefore find humanoid robotics and artificial intelligence as challenging research areas.

Modelling infant language acquisition from parent-child interaction: identifying, testing, and simulating components and consequences of speech and gestures
Project leader: Dr Tove Gerholm
Period: 1/1/13 - 12/31/17
This project aims to model infant language development from an interactional perspective during the first 3 years of life by identifying, testing, and simulating some of the fundamental processes involved in early language acquisition. A range of components that can be summarised by speech and ...
