Dr. Lidz studies how infants and children learn the basic grammatical categories of their first language and how they begin to put words together to form phrases and sentences. |
Dr. Woodward studies how infants understand others’ intentions, engage in joint attention with caretakers, learn by imitating others’ actions, and take their first steps in learning words. |
Dr. Riggin's research investigates the development of cognitive abilities, such as memory, in infants and children and how changes in these abilities are related to brain development. |
Dr. Newman studies how infants understand speech, including how they follow the voice of one talker in background noise, and how they recognize individual words within the speech stream. |
