The Experimental Psycholinguistics laboratory examines the millisecond-by-millisecond incremental representation building that the mind/brain performs in response to language stimuli. Questions include:

• What are the components of the human language processing system?
• What is the relative timing of these components' activity during linguistic representation building?
• What can parsing tell us about grammar?
• How do the language processing mechanisms develop in children?
• How does this development interact with children's induction of grammatical rules?
• Do language impaired children process language differently and is this the source of their acquisition impairment?
