We study the development of working memory and attention. We are especially interested in how children recruit attentional resources and linguistic long-term memory to implement strategies during ongoing working memory tasks.

The goal of our lab is to understand how children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing in one ear learn to navigate complex listening environments and optimize auditory input to support their academic, communication, and social-emotional development.

Our research focuses on examining how top-down factors and bottom-up factors affect communication outcomes, with a focus on bilingual children.

This research lab studies factors that influence audiovisual speech perception in children with typical hearing and children with hearing loss.​

Our lab studies genetic factors, language development, and health outcomes of multiple communication disorders.

The research program is concerned with improving speech recognition, language and cognitive outcomes for children who use hearing aids.​​

Our research focuses on auditory mechanics, understanding how pathologies that change auditory mechanics impact auditory perception, and advancing evidence-based practice through improved clinical diagnostic tools.

Research is concerned with understanding the mechanisms by which the inner ear processes sound, using empirical studies and modeling work to gain better insights into cochlear function.​

The goal of the Vestibular and Balance Laboratory is to understand the developmental impact of vestibular loss in children.

This lab studies the development of functional hearing, including spatial hearing and speech perception, in complex everyday indoor environments in children with normal hearing and those with cochlear implants.​

In our lab, we study how listeners perceive auditory space and the particular kinds of acoustic information they use to do so.

This lab studies language and literacy acquisition in children with hearing loss, with a focus on sound-based skills that impact academic outcomes, fatigue and sleep disturbance, and intervention development.​​

This lab studies developmental outcomes of children with hearing loss across the continuum of hearing technologies (hearing aids and/or cochlear implants) to inform clinical guidelines around device candidacy and fitting.​​
