I am the director of the Infant Language Lab here at Purdue. My research asks the question of how young infants acquire their first language.  This includes both how they hear and remember the words of their native language; their understanding of how what they see can be segmented into meaningful objects, actions, and events; and the process by which young infants learn to connect these two. I've even been the subject of a Purdue News Article.
