In the presentation, we review the ways in which the term ‘native speaker’ is defined and used in psycholinguistics, then discuss how these definitions and usages are harmful to both rigorous science and the communities we study. We provide concrete recommendations for every stage of research and end the presentation with time to reflect on how attendees can implement these recommendations in their own work.

The Cognitive Language Aficionados Research Group (CLARG) presents it's *brand new* speaker series:


Understanding the Role of the Researcher in the Research Process

Dr. Crystal Steltenpohl

Assistant Professor of Psychology

University of Southern Indiana


2-3:30 pm Mountain (GMT -6)

Friday, October 1, 2021


Social science research is a scientific endeavor that involves, at its core, people. We usually conduct research studies with human participants, but we as researchers are also people, and we bring our experiences, perspectives, and values into the research process in sometimes unexpected ways. Join Dr. Steltenpohl in a discussion about how researchers can influence the research process and learn about ways to reflect and transparently discuss those influences.
