Animated tutors help remedial readers, language learners, autistic children

 

Tools developed by researchers exploring language and speech comprehension can become powerful aids for remedial readers, children with language challenges, and anyone learning a second language, according to psychology professor Dominic Massaro of the University of California, Santa Cruz.

 

Massaro is a cognitive researcher whose breakthroughs have advanced the understanding of the importance of face-to-face interaction in speech comprehension. Massaro will participate in a panel discussion of advances in language and speech science at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston.
