"Conveying "tone of voice" through text message"
-Dr. Jennifer Roche

Dr. Jennifer Roche is an assistant professor in the Speech Pathology & Audiology Department at Kent State University. Her research interests include communication in the context of social and action dynamics. She is specifically interested in cognitive mechanisms that drive communication (successful and unsuccessful). She views communication as being richly affected by linguistic, psycholinguistic and social properties that dynamically interact and influence adaptation to complex and novel conversational situations. Much of her research has focused on acoustic cues to emotional speech, perspective taking, and psycholinguistic cues to miscommunication.

This presentation "Conveying "tone of voice" through text message" by Dr. Jennifer Roche was recorded, edited, and submitted (on May 30, 2018) by Dr. Roche.  This series is funded in part by the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychology.

"Some Neuromyths of Cochlear Implants"
-Dr. David Pisoni

Dr. David B. Pisoni is one of the leading figures in the field of speech perception and spoken language processing. He is interested in gaining a better understanding of the earliest stages of speech perception and specifying how the initial acoustic-phonetic information in the speech signal interacts with other sources of knowledge to support spoken word recognition, lexical access, and spoken language processing. The Speech Research Laboratory has been under his direction for more than thirty years. The long-term goal in his laboratory is to provide broad interdisciplinary research training in the Communication Sciences and Disorders and to encourage novel and creative approaches to basic and clinical research problems in Speech, Hearing and Sensory Communication.

This presentation: "Some Neuromyths of Cochlear Implants" by Dr. David Pisoni was recorded live before a studio audience on 5/9/16 at Cleveland State University. This series is funded in part by the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychology.

"Roles of General Cognitive Processes in Language"
-Dr. Phillip Hamrick

Dr. Phillip Hamrick  is an assistant professor and principal investigator of the Language and Cognition Research Laboratory. In the LCR Lab, Dr. Hamrick conducts experimental research on how languages are learned and what roles general cognitive capacities (e.g., memory, awareness, perception, attention) play in the learning process. He also conducts meta-research on quantitative research methods themselves, with the aim to improve the validity and reliability of behavioral measures of language learning, awareness, and memory. His research has appeared in numerous edited volumes and journals, including the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology and Language Learning.

"Catching the Drift:  Phonetic Convergence in Spoken Communication"
-Dr. Jennifer Pardo

Jennifer S. Pardo is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Speech Communication Laboratory at Montclair State University. Dr. Pardo received her Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Yale University in 2000, and has held academic positions at Barnard College, Wesleyan University, and The New School for Social Research. Dr. Pardo's research centers on the production and perception of spoken language, with an emphasis on understanding variation and convergence in phonetic form. This research program is currently supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, with previous support from the National Institutes of Health. Recent publications resulting from this research have appeared in Journal of Memory & Language, Frontiers in Psychology, and Discourse Processes.

"The Bilingual Mind"
-Dr. Ellen Bialystok

Dr. Ellen Bialystok studies the effect of bilingualism on cognitive and linguistic processing across the lifespan. She is the director of the Lifespan Cognition and Development Lab, a cognitive neuroscience laboratory in the Department of Psychology at York University. Dr. Bialystok uses behavioural and neuroimaging methods, including electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to investigate the neural underpinnings of cognition in individuals with diverse language backgrounds and determine the mechanism by which those effects take place. Her studies include children, younger and older adults, and patients. She has published extensively in the form of books, scientific articles, and book chapters. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Society for Experimental Psychology, American Psychological Society, and other professional organizations. Among her awards are the Canadian Society for Brain Behaviour and Cognitive Science Hebb Award (2011), Killam Prize for the Social Sciences (2010), York University President's Research Award of Merit (2009), Donald T. Stuss Award for Research Excellence at the Baycrest Geriatric Centre (2005), Dean's Award for Outstanding Research (2002), Killam Research Fellowship (2001), and the Walter Gordon Research Fellowship (1999).

"Errors in language processing"
-Dr. Fernanda Ferreira

Dr. Fernanda Ferreira is a psychology professor at UC Davis. Professor Ferreira's area of research is psycholinguistics. She is the director of the Psycholinguistics Lab at the Center for Mind & Brain. She uses basic insights from formal linguistics, especially theories in sentence phonology and syntax, to develop models of processing. Her empirical work relies both on behavioral and neural measures, including eyetracking (for measurement of fixations, saccades and pupil diameter) and the recording of event-related potentials (ERPs). The fundamental aim of her research is to uncover the mechanisms that enable humans to understand and generate language in real time and in cooperation with other cognitive systems.
