Eva is a developmental psychologist with a comparative focus interested in cumulative culture, social learning, innovation, and tool use. Her research aims at investigating the origins of cumulative cultural learning in children, its processes and requirements. Other work investigates physical cognition, executive functions, tool use, and problem-solving in children and non-human primates.
