Broadly, I am interested in children鈥檚 cognitive development. My research primarily focuses on children鈥檚 numerical knowledge. My core research is organized around three main themes: a) the developmental trajectories of number integration (i.e., a process of combining subsets of number associations to construct a higher-level understanding of number), b) developmental trajectories of children鈥檚 acquisition of math and language skills in their first language versus second language in early grades of elementary school, and c) cross-cultural comparisons of children鈥檚 home numeracy experiences.
