My research primarily focuses on early speech perception and the development of the lexicon. I am interested in how speech input affects the developing perceptual system and what types of information are useful in word learning.
Key words: infant speech perception, infant-directed speech, infant/toddler language development, sound symbolism, phonology, phonetics
