Welcome to the home page of the UCSD computational psycholinguistics lab! We study human language comprehension, production, acquisition, and representation through a combination of computational modeling, experimental psycholinguistics, and corpus analysis. Our extramural funding sources include the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
