Ongoing research

The underlying mechanisms of stereotype acquisition in children.

This project is funded by the SNSF (Doc.Mobility fellowship). The goal of the project is to  determine how and when children learn to predict the properties of social category members based on labels, repetitive pairings or both.

Unravelling the effects of implicit stereotypes on visual attention.

This study aims at investigating whether people show a visual attentional bias towards gender counter-stereotypical images, and at determining the extent to which visual attentional bias is related to a person’s explicit and implicit attitudes towards gender. 

The impact of social cognition on linguistic processing.

The objective of this study is to understand how linguitic processes such as presupposition accomodation is affected by contextual information that confirms or violates stereotypical expectations.
