I am a second year PhD student in the Language Development Department<\/a> of the Max Planck Institute. I am working under the supervision of Caroline Rowland<\/a> on a project about the role of individual differences in language acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am interested in how children use vision to support their language learning. \nTo understand how children learn language, it is important to not only look at one language, but to compare many languages and see what the learning processes of different languages have in common. One very important aspect regards the comparison of spoken languages to signed languages. I am interested to see in which ways hearing and non-hearing children learn language in the same or in different ways and what this can tell us about language learning in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am studying the different ways signing and speaking parents interact with their children. In both language environments, signing and speaking, the child and the parent make use of (each other\u2019s) visual attention for communication. In this study, I am interested in which ways signing and speaking parents and children use cues in each other\u2019s gaze, for example when a child follows their parent\u2019s gaze to identify the object they are currently talking about.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","team_groepen":[22],"class_list":["post-2848","medewerkers","type-medewerkers","status-publish","hentry","team_groepen-language-development"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJennifer Sander - Baby & Child Research Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/en\/medewerkers\/jennifer-sander\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jennifer Sander - Baby & Child Research Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ik ben een tweedejaars PhD student bij de Language and Development afdeling van het Max Planck Instituut.
