Monča is a PhD student in Czech Language at Charles University’s Faculty of Arts and works as a junior researcher at the Institute of Psychology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. She is interested in what helps preschool children understand speech with a non-native or unfamiliar accent. During her bachelor’s and master’s studies, her work focused on how preschoolers acquire English speech sounds. She is currently working on a project on how children with a familial risk of ADHD attune to non-native accents in Czech. She enjoys data analysis and likes to learn new things about behavioral and neuroimaging methods, from building experiments to interpreting results.
