knowledge

Full time 3-year PhD Research Studentship

Applications are invited for a PhD Research Studentship. The research
will investigate the effect of different linguistic properties -
lexical, prosodic, semantic, and syntactic - on repetition span. It has
implications for relations between language processing, knowledge and
memory in typically developing children and children with SLI. The
project addresses psycholinguistic questions, drawing equally on
theories and skills in psychology and linguistics. 

This project will suit a Masters or BSc/BA graduate with a background in
speech and language therapy, psychology, or linguistics. The candidate
should have previous research or clinical experience in working with
children, and strong skills in logical and analytical thinking.
