Academic interests

• My PhD project entitled ’Children of women in medical assisted rehabilitation (MAR): A follow-up study 4 years later’ focuses on the long-term effects of prenatal methadone and buprenorphine exposure on children’s development. I investigate possible effects on children’s memory, language development, executive functions, motor skills, and attention

• Furthermore am I interested in children’s general social development, specifically children’s ability to understand that other people have mental representations such as thoughts, wishes, and beliefs that impact behavior (‘Theory of Mind’)
