Lecturer in Developmental Psychology

I am a lecturer in developmental psychology at the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès, Laboratory CLLE (UMR 5263 - CNRS), team "Language & Cognition". My research interests concern the development and evolution of human communication.

I have been studying the relationship between gestures and language acquisition in young children, with special emphasis on the multimodality of communication. My main objectives are to gain some insight into the way "our body talk" by considering both ontogenetic and phylogenetic scales.
