Child development

The research group for child development was established on the 1st of January 2019. Most of our research focuses on infancy and early childhood development, and we use a variety of methods to investigate different processes within cognitive and social development. Currently, the group consists of three associate professors and two PhD students. In addition, there are a varying number of research assistants working in our projects.

We teach in the BA and the clinical psychology program, and we are available as supervisors for all kinds of thesis projects ("semesteroppgave", "hovedoppgave", BA and MA theses). Contact us if you would like to know more about our projects, or if you have your own idea within child development that you would like to work on.

PSY-2502 Utviklingspsykologi i et livløpsperspektiv
