About
Eloise (she/her/hers) is a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Darko Odic in the Centre for Cognitive Development.
Research
Development doesn’t happen in isolation. Children learn many things – how to walk, talk, express their emotions – simultaneously. Eloise is interested in how different areas of change interrelate: does one ability forge the way for another? When and how does new knowledge alter our behaviour? Her recent work explores what children’s developing language abilities can reveal about their metacognitive reasoning, and how children interface across perceptual and linguistic representations of objects and number.
