Psycholinguistics Lab

Language Processing Group

The Language Processing Group (LPG) holds regular meetings for faculty members and students interested in language processing research. This is a relatively informal way to present research to the psycholinguistics community at UTA and to develop collaborative research projects. Presentations at this meeting describe research at various stages of development — completed projects, projects currently underway, research designs, and even just ideas in the field that might be interesting to pursue. Tutorials on useful software packages, analysis techniques, and experimental methodologies will also be held on occasion.

If this is something you might like to participate in, please an email to jeffrey.witzel/at/uta.edu, and you will be included on a mailing list. This group is open to researchers in any field that connects to psycholinguistics.
