Early (social) cognitive development

With behavioral, eye-tracking, and neurophysiological (EEG) Methods we investigate infants' early understanding about their social and physical environment. For example we investigate the principal mechanisms that drive human prosocial development, infants’ early normative understanding, as well as the development of early emerging concepts about the physical world.
