Studies Related to Language

Behavioral and EEG studies of language learning

Elborn College, Western University

Some aspects of language may be learned without conscious effort or focused attention. We are interested in understanding which aspects of language can be learned without effort, and which aspects of language require conscious processing and attention.

Typical and Atypical Development of Compensation to Altered Auditory Feedback

Elborn College (EC)

Early detection of speech, language, and hearing disorders is critical for optimizing outcomes. One great challenge is the early detection of developmental language disorder (DLD). Children with DLD struggle to comprehend what is said to them and express themselves verbally. We are interested in studying how the brains of children process what they hear, comparing typically developing children with children with DLD to improve early identification. This will be compared with typical adult performance.
