Our Research
Our Focus
The goal of the Developmental Neurolinguistic and Cognition Lab is to understand the relationship between speech, language and brain development, and processing. We focus on how sensory or environment deprivation on the linguistic system influences development. Research projects that are currently in progress use electrophysiological methods to examine brain processes as well as behavioral measures.
An understanding of the relationship between language, brain development and environment could help explain the nature of developmental language disorders.
