Psychology!

I am a psychology PhD student, which obviously means that I'm very interested in psychology! However, pyschology is a massive field, with many different areas within it. I am a cognitive psychologist, with an interest in language production, perception, and acquisition. This means that I'm interested in how what we hear effects what we say! I have worked with topics such as statistical learning, syntactic priming, and phonotactics.

When I tell people that I study psychology, they typically assume that I study clinical psychology, which is the area that is most associated with the field. Unfortunately, I do not! I am not an expert on clinical areas and I claim ignorance, but I am very interested in this area and do a lot of reading on it! I'm especially interested in aphasia, schizophrenia, autism, and depression.
