Drew J. McLaughlinis an experimental researcher who leverages behavioral, physiological, and neuroscientific methods to draw conclusions about cognitive and linguistic processes.
Her research primarily examines the cognitive basis of foreign accent processing, with additional focus on multilingual code-switching and implicit knowledge of talker, race, and accent covariation.
Drew is an expert in cognitive pupillometry. She recently organized and led the BCBL 2024 Pupillometry Workshop. All materials (including R and PsychoPy walkthroughs) and video tutorials are available in the Pupillometry tab.

Sandwich Builder: A Gamified Assessment Tool for Language Research
Using Gorilla’s Game Builder, I have developed a "gamified" short-term memory assessment tool called Sandwich Builder. The manuscript for Sandwich Builder, Lettuce Entertain You, is in press at BRM! The pre-print can be found here. The Sandwich Builder task has been made available to other researchers through Gorilla’s Open Materials. Learn more about the process of creating Sandwich Builder in this Gorilla webinar!
