In our projects, children are asked to complete a variety of tasks on the computer. Our lab implements eye-tracking technology for some projects. Eye-tracker is a computer-based technology that detects child’s eye movements and helps us to see how the language is processed.
Language Project
The goals of the Language Project are
- to understand childhood language disorders and what causes them
- how children process complex language
