I work on young children's implicit inferential reasoning (argumentation in context) through an interdisciplinary approach connecting psychology and education (socio-cultural perspective) and argumentation theories. I am interested in understanding how (preschool and school) children co-construct their reasoning with peers and adults in a multimodal way (e.g. through gestures, use of different tools, verbal components of interaction). The main aims are to develop training activities for teachers and to deeply understand the children's contribution on building knowledge at school.

My recent interests include the development of applied research projects in the context of intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (adolescents and adults)

Naomi Downes est psychologue clinicienne qui vient de terminer sa these à l'Université de Paris. Certifiée à L'ESDM (Early Start Denver Model) depuis 2015, elle a travaillé dans un dispositif d'intervention précoce en autisme, ce qui a inspiré son travail de thèse sur le vécu des couples suite à un diagnostic d'un trouble du spectre de l'autisme. Elle est spécialisée dans le travail auprès des parents, notamment la guidance parentale, la coparentalité, et la thérapie de couple. Depuis juin 2021, elle vit à Genève et travaille en tant que chercheuse postdoctoral dans l'équipe de l'ERES à Paris. Naomi participe principalement au projet Devstress sous la direction de Judith van der Waerden. Cette recherche vise à explorer les mécanismes par lesquels le stress prénatal peut conduire à l'émergence des troubles neurodéveloppementaux et psychiatriques.

Naomi Downes is a Clinical Psychologist who has just finished her PhD at the University of Paris. Certified as an ESDM therapist (Early Start Denver Model) since 2015, she worked in an early intervention centre specialised in autism. This inspired her thesis that explored couples' experiences following their child's recent autism diagnosis. Naomi's research focuses on parenting and her clinical practice is centred around parental guidance, co-parenting, and couples therapy. Since June 2021, she has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the ERES team in Paris while living in Geneva. Naomi is mainly involved in the Devstress project with Judith van der Waerden. This research aims to explore the mechanisms by which prenatal stress can lead to the emergence of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.

Prof. Horsch leads the Lausanne Perinatal Research Group. Her research focuses on the impact of stress and trauma in the perinatal period on parental and infant (mental) health with the following objectives: (1) Increase the understanding of the psychosocial and neurophysiological mechanisms linked to stress and trauma that underlie the development of perinatal mental health problems; (2) Investigate the interplay between parental mental health and the development of the infant (intergenerational transmission of stress and trauma); (3) Develop effective and evidence-based early interventions to help prevent or combat perinatal mental health problems and their negative impact on the infant.

I'm studying the processes of a) the social integration of educationally disadvantaged migrant families and b) the school integration of children from these families. My specific focus is on the mechanisms of educational success or failure, and specifically on the prevention of learning and behavioral disorders in school. Against the background of the ecosystemic approach of Bronfenbrenner, I investigate factors that, despite difficult conditions, lead to positive transformations in children, adolescents and adults with the aim of their healthy development and successful adaptation in the respective context and at the respective phase of life. Promising for this are investments right from the beginning, i.e. from birth. See www.zeppelin.ch.ch

Je m'intéresse sur la manière dont les enfants développent leurs capacités à faire attention aux informations visuelles et multisensorielles, depuis des mécanismes cérébraux de l'attention (étudiés avec l'EEG) aux conséquences de l'attention sur les compétences cognitives quotidiennes (lecture, mathématiques de base, reconnaissance des visages, etc.). À ce titre, mon groupe et moi-même étudions comment le développement des mécanismes d'attention visuelle et audiovisuelle contribue à la neuroplasticité associée aux jeux et aux interventions de RV, par exemple, chez les enfants ayant l'œil paresseux. 

I am interested in how children develop their skills in paying attention to visual and multisensory information, from the brain mechanisms of attention (studied with EEG) to consequences of attention skills for everyday cognitive skills (reading, basic maths, recognising faces etc.). As such, my group and I explore how the development of visual and audio-visual attention mechanisms contributes to the neuroplasticity associated with gaming and VR interventions, for example, in children with lazy eye.

Nora Maria Raschle is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at the University of Zurich. She has a background in developmental cognitive and affective neuroscience. Nora Raschle's work to date has focused on the investigation of typical and atypical brain development, with a particular focus on the early detection and characterization of developmental and mental health disorders through the use of structural and functional neuroimaging techniques.

The NMR Kids Lab is pursuing research projects in healthy and clinical populations (mental health and developmental disorders, including for example conduct disorder, disruptive behavior, language delay, developmental dyslexia) and has a focus on the following areas of interest:

My research focuses on the cognitive and social-emotional development of children and adolescents. I am interested in developmental trajectories on different timescales (days, months, years) and how children differ in these trajectories. In particular, I work on the effects of nutrition and parenting on infant and early child development. In addition, I am conducting research with different children at risk for developmental and social disadvantages. This includes children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, chronic diseases, or experiences of escape and resettlement, as well as preterm infants, or children from socially or culturaly disadvantaged families.

With a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Geneva, my research spans a variety of topics including language acquisition (Creole and Romance), the grammar-cognition interface, the phenotype of language disorders, bilingualism, syntactic cartography as well as syntactic locality. This work links linguistic theory with empirical investigations (both experimental and corpus studies), and also aims to yield concrete applications, such as fine-tuning language policies and therapeutic interventions for atypical language development.
