Language & Cognitive Development Research Group
Professor George Spanoudis
Activities
- Conducting studies on typical and atypical populations to compare developmental trajectories.
- Investigating language processing and learning, including vocabulary and sentence development.
- Investigating the development of the Theory of Mind and constructing theoretical models to explain cognitive and linguistic development.
- Utilizing EEG/ERP techniques to understand neural correlates of cognitive and language development.
Scope
Our research explores various aspects of cognitive development, including:
- Core cognitive skills: attention, memory, problem-solving, and executive function.
- Correlates of intelligence: neural and behavioral factors influencing developing intelligence.
- Developmental language disorders: underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms in children.
Technologies & Methods
- Traditional Behavioral Measures: standardized tests, reaction time tasks, and eye-tracking.
- Advanced Electrophysiological Techniques: EEG and ERPs for insights into brain activity dynamics.
Innovation spotlight
- Developing innovative theoretical models to explain the intricate pathways of cognitive development.
- Focus on developmental language disorders to improve diagnosis and intervention strategies
