"Investigation of language acquisition using phonological features of Japanese"

Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 3:30pm

Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, G87

The Department of Human Development Special Talk


Dr. Reiko Mazuka

Dr. Mazuka received her PhD from Cornell HDFS in 1990. In 1989, she joined the faculty of Psychology at Duke University. In 2004, she opened a lab at RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan to study the acquisition of Japanese phonology by infants and young children.

Phonology of Japanese differs from English and other European languages in critical ways. Dr. Mazuka’s research, since her days at Cornell, takes advantage of these cross-linguistic differences to tease apart universal and language specific factors that contribute to language acquisition.
