Language Development & Perception Laboratories |
The language perception and development laboratories focus on how the brain processes spoken language, and how this changes with development.
In particular, we are interested in the following issues:
- How the brain segments words from fluent speech
- How the brain accesses words from memory
- How the brain compensates for variability in the speech signal, caused by differences in talkers and speaking rate
- How we separate different streams of speech, and pay attention to a particular one
We study these issues both with adult participants and with young infants, in order to examine how these abilities change across the lifespan.
