Biography

Jill is a developmental psychologist with a focus on interaction, cognition, and language. Her research investigates the processes of language development, particularly how individuals learn and utilize language across different types such as English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Jill's work also explores everyday language engagement, assessing how adults and children engage in informal contexts that relate to broader scientific concepts and 'world knowledge'. Notably, her research has looked at parent-child conversations regarding origins and evolutionary change in children's conceptual development. Jill's research is conducted in various settings, including laboratories, homes, schools, and museums. She co-authored the book, 'Museum Learning: Theory, Research, Tools Enhancing Practice' with Theano Moussouri, published by Routledge in 2018. Her interests also extend to cognitive development, bilingualism, family conversations, and the pedagogical implications of museum learning.
