Research Interests
My main interest lies in studying executive control functions, particularly working memory, in children. My research investigates the normal development of executive functions, as well as executive function deficits in ADHD and other externalizing behavior problems. In addition, a newly developed research interest of mine is to study early attentional precursors of executive functions in infants and toddlers.

Together with my PhD student, Viktor Granvald, I’m currently starting up a project investigating the relation between executive functioning and aggression in children, as well as how these factors longitudinally predict peer relations.
