Biography
I am a psycholinguist trying to understand how children acquire language and why some do it easier than others. I am particularly interested in the development of reading mechanisms from childhood to adulthood.
I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Rastle lab at Royal Holloway, University of London. The project I am working on investigates whether having same language subtitles turned on for children’s television programmes helps children learn to read.
Previously, I was a research fellow in the Center for Language and Brain at HSE University in Moscow, Russia, where I supervised behavioral and eye-tracking studies of the Child Language Acquisition group. I got experience in designing and conducting experiments with infants, 3-to-12-year-old typically-developing monolingual children, bilingual children, children with dyslexia, children with Developmental Language Disorder and Down syndrome, as well as adults.
