I develop computational-level theories of individual differences in human cognitive development, with a particular focus on communication. Most recently, this involves using a 'resource rationality' framework to understand behavioural contributions to early neurodevelopmental variation. This approach is described here (pdf).

Selected work

• Resource rational decision-making and information seeking shape neurodevelopmental variation (pdf).
• The role of the inner ear (basilar membrane) and auditory pathway plasticity in variability in early speech perception and communicative development (pdf).
• Working memory deficits as a consequence rather than cause of deficits in long-term speech and language memory (pdf).
• Predictive processing and language disorder part one (pdf) and two (paywall).
