Research Interest 

My area of focus is Cognitive-Linguistic Psychology where I mainly investigate concepts and categories, specifically on how the use of words and their meanings (semantics) relate to human cognitive processes. My research focuses on the use of concepts and how people (children and adults) categorize objects based on their cognition and the perceived meaning of words. I am also personally interested in promoting, studying, and evaluating the Open science research practices in psychological science in Indonesia.
