Understanding the nature and the source of processing difficulty and breakdown in language comprehension has been a central goal in psychology and linguistics for its theoretical and practical implications. What makes difficult-to-process sentences difficult? What are the cognitive mechanisms behind language variations and individual differences in typical and atypical comprehenders? How can we apply findings from experimental psycholinguistics research to enhance education and intervention strategies? Dr. Campanelli’s research seeks to understand how the cognitive architecture constrains speech and language processing and its implications for education, training, and intervention.
