Maeike Slikkerveer

LIFE Fellow since 2025, University of Zurich

I am a PhD student at the University of Zurich as part of the research group Developmental Psychology: Infancy and Childhood led by Moritz Daum. My research focuses on the development of language production processes. Together with my supervisor, Sebastian Sauppe, I am exploring the neural dynamics of sentence production processes in children and adults. In addition, we plan to investigate how cross-linguistic differences influence these processes.
Originally from a linguistic background, I completed both my undergraduate degree in Linguistics and my Master’s degree in Language and Cognition at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. During my Master's degree, I focused on differentiating the linguistic processes behind single word production.
