We’re the Language Experience and Acquisition Research at NYU Lab and we are a research group studying how children learn language. Our research interfaces with linguistics, cognitive and developmental psychology, and communication sciences and disorders (speech-language pathology). We use a variety of behavioral methods, and primarily eye-tracking, to study language learning in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We work with children who are developing neurotypically, late talking toddlers, and autistic preschoolers, taking a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Here in NYC, we study children acquiring English, and we collaborate with researchers all over the world to study how children acquire other languages.
