Research area

SCaLa's research area are speech and language across sensory modalities and across the lifespan, from a social to a neurocognitive perspective.

Our key research questions are:

  • How do languages reflect and shape social perception and cognition?
  • How are neurocognitive mechanisms of audiovisual speech perception influenced by environment and experience? 

About the research group

The group has grown out of two overlapping entities:
