Advancing research in Infant Language Learning.

The Little Magpies Lab is a research lab located in Assiniboia Hall at the University of Alberta in the Department of Linguistics. Our research focus is infant language acquisition, specifically from early infancy until 3-years of age.

How do infants navigate the early stages of language learning?

In our lab, we explore children's early perception of speech while they start to take their first steps towards becoming a speaker of one or more languages.
