Language and Cognition Program

Research in the program touches on several major themes:

Language processing in typical and disordered populations. (Pugh, Myers, Magnuson, Rueckl, Altmann, Yee, Tabor)
Music perception and cognition (Large)
Cognitive modeling (Rueckl, Magnuson, Tabor, Altmann, Large)
Dynamical systems approaches to perception, language and cognition (Tabor, Large)
Neurobiology of language and cognition (Myers, Yee, Magnuson, Rueckl, Pugh, Large, Altmann)
Semantic memory and concept formation (Yee, Altmann)
Reading and reading disorder (Pugh, Magnuson, Rueckl)
Ecological psychology (Tabor)
Auditory Neuroscience (Large)

The Program has close ties to the Center for the Ecological Study of Perception and Action (CESPA), the Developmental and Behavioral Neuroscience Divisions in the Department of Psychology, the Linguistics Department, Speech, Language, and Hearing Science Department, and the Cognitive Science program at the University of Connecticut. In addition, Haskins Laboratories, an internationally renowned interdisciplinary research facility located nearby in New Haven, provides a stimulating environment for research and training.
