Susan Hespos
Susan J. Hespos is an American developmental psychologist serving as the professor of infant studies and leader of BabyLab in the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour, and Development, as well as the School of Education at Western Sydney University. Hespos's research shows that babies think before they speak.
