Welcome to the Child Language Lab at Boston University!

We are a research center studying language and cognitive development in young children, from infancy through school age. We are interested in questions like:

  • How do children discover the meanings of words?
  • How does the way in which we talk to our children affect the way they learn?
  • How well do children remember recently-learned words?
  • How does sleep affect language learning?
  • How does language learning differ in children acquiring languages other than English?
  • How do children with Autism Spectrum Disorders learn new words?

If you are a parent, we invite you to visit us. If you are a student interested in joining our team, please contact Dr. Sudha Arunachalam for more information.
