I completed my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at the University of Haifa. My doctoral research focused on the role of sensorimotor predictability in early infancy, investigating how predictable sensory feedback reinforces infants’ emerging behaviors.
As a postdoctoral researcher, I am interested in investigating the predictive role of prosody in early language acquisition, focusing on how prosodic cues support infants’ language learning and the cognitive mechanisms that enable them to anticipate and learn from speech.

In my PHD studies I investigate the role of prediction in language processing and development.
In one study, I examine how preschoolers learn a new morphological regularity from familiar words implicitly, immediately apply this regularity to learn new words, and update their existing vocabulary in accordance with the newly acquired knowledge.
In the other study, I nvestigate how syntactic category expectations are influenced by prior experience in children and adults, using EEG and the Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) method.

I investigate how semantic category boundaries are formed and refined in infants across the second year of life.
Are semantic representations initially broad and become increasingly specific over development, or do they begin narrowly defined and expand with age and experience?
Do they differ across age groups, or among individual infants?

In my study I investigate fathers' involvement in their children's lives and their ability to adapt to their children's cognitive level (cognitive sensitivity). Additionally, the study examines the relationship between the level of involvement, cognitive sensitivity, and the children's language and motor development

I investigate the relationship between parental estimates of early vocabulary and toddlers' objective semantic knowledge. My research questions are:
Does the standard binary CDI format accurately capture the nuanced precision of a child's emerging word comprehension?
Can evaluating parental certainty on a continuous scale better predict a child's actual behavioral performance?

I investigate young children's preferences for children's and adult songs from different cultures. By measuring children's listening behavior, I explore whether children show a preference for children's songs and which musical features.

In my study I examine the possible relationship between grammatical gender and conceptual representations in toddlers acquiring Palestinian Arabic and toddlers acquiring Hebrew. Specifically, I investigate whether, as early as 24–36 months of age, children associate the grammatical gender of a noun with broader gender-related characteristics
