California Annual Meeting on Psycholinguistics [CAMP8] – 2025

We had an amazing time attending the 8th annual California Meeting on Psycholinguistics held at UC Davis. This has been the largest conference adventure yet for our growing lab!

Our research assistants, thesis-student Mysha Amir and full-time RA Chenye (Mary) Wang, gave a talk on Accent Processing in Children: Are Children Able to Spontaneously Comprehend Unfamiliar-Accented Speech. This is their first-ever professional talk, and we are so proud of them!

Victoria, our second-year grad student that the lab co-advises, gave an excellent talk looking at children’s Mental State Verb Acquisition via Syntactic Bootstrapping. Our first-year grad student Idella gave a talk looking at how children recruit past linguistic context to infer word meanings across exposures.

We are so happy and can’t wait to return to many more CAMPs!
