"Unified Lab"

Together with the labs of we get together weekly to discuss ongoing research projects by students and faculty. Our unified lab group is a mixture of linguists and psychologists whose areas of expertise include concepts and categorization (Murphy, Rehder) , causal reasoning (Rehder), sentence processing and human memory (McElree), neurolinguistics (Marantz, Pylkkänen) and linguistic theory (Marantz, Pylkkänen).
