Laboratory:	Child Language & Cognitive Processes Laboratory (SDSU)
Current Project:	Lexical Processing in Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) The focus of this project is to determine how different lexical properties, such as word frequency, are processed in both typical populations and in children with SLI, using both behavioral and event-related potential methodologies. A further goal of this research is to determine how these distributional language regularities influence performance on cognitive and linguistic tasks.
