Nunne Englund

Nunne Englund is an Associate Professor in Psychology at the Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. She holds a PhD in Developmental Psychology from NTNU. Her research focuses on phonological development, infant directed speech, and general language development in early childhood.

Englund is a member of two research groups: the Speech, Cognition and Language Research Group (SCaLa) and the Learning and Skill Development (Mind, Brain and Education) group. Her work explores how infants perceive and process speech, particularly in natural caregiver interactions, and examines the impact of environmental factors like media use on child development.

Her research has been published in journals such as Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Applied Psycholinguistics, and Behavior Research Methods. Key themes include audiovisual speech perception, hypoarticulation in infant-directed speech, and the role of physical fitness in reading skills development.

Englund teaches courses such as PSY2111 (Specialization in Developmental Psychology) and introductory cognitive psychology modules. She has engaged in extensive public outreach, including media appearances on NRK, interviews in Aftenposten, and workshops on early language stimulation for parents and educators.

Her contributions span interdisciplinary research areas, integrating developmental psychology, linguistics, and educational practices to understand early childhood language acquisition and its societal implications.
