Research

My research focuses on the role of phonological biases, linguistic experience, as well as cognitive skills on language development in typically-developing children and children with hearing loss. Unraveling the complex interactions of these factors during the process of language acquisition does not only inform the fundamental features of learning, but also promises profound signi cance in informing clinical therapies.
