LEAD Lab Research

The goal of this line of research is to evaluate whether children with DLD learn better with feedback (errorful learning) or without feedback (errorless learning).

The goal of this line of research is to better understand what makes learning more challenging for children with DLD. We use behavioral and neurophysiological measures to evaluate neural activity in the brain as it relates to typical and atypical learning. We manipulate teaching parameters to determine the optimal learning conditions for children with DLD.

The goal of this line of research is to evaluate whether inefficient use of self-talk by children with DLD affects their performance on complex executive function and problem-solving tasks. We use behavioral and electrophysiological measures to evaluate whether training in the use of verbal mediation can improve executive functioning in children with DLD.
