Andrea Takahesu Tabori, PhD
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow
- BEAM Lab
- Communication Sciences and Disorders
Andrea is a postdoctoral researcher at the Brain, Education, and Mind (BEAM) Lab, directed by Dr. Joanna Christodoulou. She is interested in the factors that support the learning and proficient use of one or more languages in children and adults. In her work, she has examined how learning a new language draws upon cognitive skills, formal and informal language knowledge as well as other nonlinguistic forms of experience (e.g. musical experience). At the BEAM lab, Andrea will be working on projects that examine language development in children with reading difficulties.
