Meeting Description:

Developmental Perspectives on Language Processing 
Workshop in the Language Development Series of the Child Language Lab,
Macquarie University, Sydney

Workshop Description:

On their way to becoming expert language users, children undergo neural
maturation which affects the development of their language skills. Because of
this, the processes underlying language comprehension may vary across
development and differ from those in adults. However, not much is known about
the variations in these processes. The goal of this workshop is therefore to
bring together researchers working on various aspects of language
comprehension to better understand how children process language in real time,
and how different types of information are exploited during development. This
topic is especially timely given increasing evidence that efficient early
language processing skills are critical for learning to communicate
effectively. It also has implications for better understanding language
processing in children with limited language processing skills, such as those
with various types of language delay, including bilinguals and early L2
learners, children with hearing loss, and those with specific language
impairment (SLI).

More detail on the workshop can be found at the listed URL. For further
