Paola Escudero to present keynote talk at WISP event

MARCS researcher Paola Escudero (pictured right) will present a keynote at The Workshop on Infant Speech Perception (WISP), an event that will highlight recent research on infants' developing abilities to perceive and learn language. 

The goal of WISP is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of phonology, morphology and prosody to discuss novel techniques and paradigms that will shed light on the diverse roles of speech perception abilities at various stages of infant development, across languages and populations. 

The workshop will include keynote addresses and invited talks by experts in the fields of linguistics, computational modelling, cognitive science, and developmental psychology. 

Paola is an Associate Professor at MARCS Institute and teaches within the Linguistics Major of the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at UWS. 

WISP is hosted by Macquarie University and will be held from 1 - 2 September 2015 at the Australian Hearing Hub, Macquarie University, Sydney.
