Research topic: Growing up around different accents: the effect of speech variability on infant word recognition
My research is focused on how exposure to different accents affects the way infants learn their first language. I will be using a mixture of behavioural measures and EEG to study familiar word recognition in infants who grow up in families where parents speak with the same accents, and families where parents speak with the same accent.
