I teach on the undergraduate degree programs for BSc Psychology. I contribute to different units including developmental psychology, comparative psychology, epistemology and behavior sampling techniques. I supervise undergraduate dissertations on comparative and developmental psychology. I also teach animal behavior on different programs for professionals working with dogs and horses.

The aim of MODAL is to advance the knowledge on the acquisition and origins of the multimodal facets of language. I test predictions about the comparative use of sensory modalities by communication learners observed in situations of attentional or communicative breakdowns. I combine cross-species and cross-cultural comparisons of attention-getters used in mother-infant communication with a formal linguistic approach applied to monkey communication and artificial languages to elucidate the factors that shape the use of vocal and gestural modalities in the emergence of language.
