I
just started my
graduate studies in Psychology. In my research project, I am
investigating infants who are raised bilingually from birth. I'm
interested in how their experience of having to separate the two
languages they are exposed to influences their linguistic and
non-linguistic processing. More specifically, I'm looking at their
ability to attend to one source of information while disregarding
another and how that relates to the properties of the languages they
are exposed to. I'm also interested in how children learn the rules for
sound patterns in their native language. My previous research has been
on morphological processing in highly proficient second language
learners (at the University of Potsdam) as well as the role of prosody
in the processing of complex sentences (at the City University of New
York).

I'm
currently a
postdoctoral fellow with Dr K. Onishi and part of the Auditory
Cognitive Neuroscience (ACN) network program
(http://www.acn-create.org/) since September 2014. I received my phD in
Neurosciences from the University of Aix-Marseille in 2011. My main
research interest is about the relationship between music and speech
processing. I previously examined the influence of musical expertise /
training on syllable processing in normal reading children and in
children with dyslexia, by using both behavioral and
electrophysiological (Event Related Potentials) methods. I
will now investigate the influence of acoustic variations in speech on
babies' phonological processing.

I’m
a U2
student doing a Cognitive Science major in the B.A. & B.Sc,
with a Classics minor. My main interests are linguistics and psychology
(with some classical history here and there) and that’s the
reason why I’m so glad to be a part of the MIDC CDEM.
I’m happy get an opportunity to finally see what I see in
class, especially language and its acquisition, being applied in a
concrete context. I hope to help as much as I can and to be able to use
my newly acquired knowledge in the future. I look forward to pursuing
graduate studies in this field of research
(eventually).

Hello!
I initially
came to McGill with a major in Anatomy and Cell Biology but upon taking
my first psychology class, I found myself passionate about the subject
and decided to double major. I have always been fascinated about how
children learn language, and being part of the MIDC is an amazing
opportunity to learn more on the subject. I am getting to discover the
research environment that is so far very interesting, thus I am
seriously considering pursuing a career in this field. |

| Hi!
My name is Elka.
I am currently enrolled in the last semester of my undergraduate
studies, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Behavioral Sciences and
Women’s Studies. I am involved with the MIDC as a volunteer
in order to gain more knowledge on research and its methodology.
Research with infants is really interesting to me because of how much
creativity is needed to investigate about how they understand the world
and learn from it, when they cannot verbally communicate to us. I
believe that this learning experience will influence my future
professional and personal life. |
