Perception and Learning Laboratory (PERLL)

Description

The Perception and Learning Laboratory is the Electroencephalogram lab of the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University.

Its facilities enable and facilitate research by staff and students into the neural basis of language and linguistically mediated perception, and psycholinguistic aspects of language learning. Lab research strengths include linguistic/cultural relativity, bilingual cognition, perceptual/statistical learning, and lexical processing/representations in bilinguals.

Perception and Learning Laboratory is an inter-disciplinary lab doing fieldwork and laboratory research using a combination of theoretical and methodological tools from a range of disciplines such as Anthropology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Linguistics, and Experimental Psychology.

Researchers specialise in the following areas:

• Language-mediated perception and cognition (linguistic/cultural relativity)
• Bilingual Cognition (learning mechanisms/cognitive consequences of bilingualism)
• Perceptual and statistical learning using artificial grammars
• Lexical processing/representation
