About
I am a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Liverpool and the Director of the ESRC International Centre for Research in Language and Communicative Development (LuCiD) at the Universities of Liverpool, Manchester and Lancaster. I am also a member of the Language Advisory Group to the BBC’s Tiny Happy People initiative. My research focuses on how children learn words, how they learn to combine words into sentences, and how caregivers can support children’s early language learning.
