Laboratories
The laboratories in the Joint Doctoral Program focus on
language learning throughout the lifespan. This includes research
on first language acquisition, bilingualism and signed languages.
Studies focus on typically developing infants, children, and adults
as well as individuals with Aphasia, Focal Lesions, Hearing Impairments,
Down Syndrome, Language Impairment, Williams Syndrome, and other
developmental disorders which affect language.Methods include
behavioral testing, on-line assessments, functional Magnetic Resonance
Imaging, and Evoked Response Potentials.
