Research
My research investigates cognitive development in infants, children and adults. I am especially interested in how objects and places are perceived, remembered, and constructed in spatial fields and spatial axes systems.

For instance, it could be demonstrated that infants innately neglect the left visual field, but with the onset of reaching at about five months, this neglect disappears, as in stroke patients via reaches into the neglected spatial field (Lange-Küttner & Crichton, 1999). In older children, drawing provides an exciting method to investigate objects in spatial fields. Objects embedded in spatial systems become malleable, e.g. size and contour of drawn objects changes systematically the more complex the explicit axes system (e.g. Lange-Küttner, 1997, 2004, 2008, in press; Lange-Küttner, Kerzmann, & Heckhausen, 2002). I investigate currently object-place vs. object-region binding in visual memory (Lange-Küttner, 2006 and work in progress). I also conduct German/British comparative research, on sound perception in infants (Lange-Küttner, in press), and sound vs. vision in reading and memory of school children (Lange-Küttner, under review).
