Mentor Areas

Professor Swingley is interested in word recognition, word learning, and speech-sound learning in infants and young children.

Description:

Projects vary. Current projects include perceptual experiments with infants, statistical and acoustic analyses of infant-directed speech corpora, and perceptual learning studies of adults. We work primarily in English, but not exclusively. It helps if you have programming skills, but if not, that's okay too!  Our goal is to understand how infants start learning their language.

Preferred Qualifications

Must have linguistics or cognitive science coursework background, and/or some computer programming skills.
