Second-Language Processing and Eye-Tracking (L2PET) Lab

About the Lab

General Information

In the L2PET Lab, we use a range of online and offline methodologies to investigate how non-native speakers process phonetic, phonological, and morphological aspects of a second/foreign language. We also examine the effects of proficiency, working memory, and other cognitive factors on online language processing.
