Principal Investigator

Jessica Hay PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY Ph.D. 2005, University of Texas at Austin My research interests focus primarily on early language acquisition and speech perception. I am specifically interested in how human infants learn elements of language during early development and particularly in how their experience with statistical regularities in the world (and in the laboratory) interacts with their perceptual sensitivities to facilitate learning.
