Together with my research group, I investigate a central question in developmental science: how infants transform from seemingly helpless newborns into active learners who rapidly acquire new skills and engage meaningfully with others. By integrating theories from cognitive science with empirical methods in developmental psychology, I study the mechanisms driving early development and the factors underlying individual differences in developmental outcomes.

About
Sabine Hunnius studies how babies learn about the world and explore their surroundings, and how curiosity can be stimulated in young children. She is also interested in how babies interact with the people around them and how they learn to play and do things together with others.
