How might studies of the brain shed light on language development and language processing? In this talk, Dr. Letitia Naigles will present neuroimaging findings from both cortical structures and subcortical processing, with respect to the phonological, lexical and syntactic levels of language, making the case that linguistic specificity calls for neurological specificity, and vice versa; this argument will be further supported by including findings from neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals.

Dr. Letitia Naigles is Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Connecticut. After earning her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, she taught at Yale University for 10 years. She has held Visiting Professor positions at Koç University in Istanbul, Turkey, and at the MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis. She became a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science in 2009. At UConn, she has been the Director of the Developmental Division in Psychological Sciences, and the Cognitive Science Program, and was the founding Director of the university-wide Kids In Developmental Science research and recruitment consortium. She was awarded the Excellence in Research Award for the Biological and Life Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2017, and the Research Excellence: Career Award from UConn’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors in 2019.
