Emily presented her poster entitled “Peripheral Attention and American Sign Language” at the WORLD conference in Spain last week. The conference focused on language and deafness and facilitated an open and honest discussion by researchers and clinicians of different perspectives. It was exciting to hear from panelists as they discussed the future of the field.
Congratulations Alex on winning the Best Poster Award at the USF Psychology Department’s Annual Research Exposition in October, 2018. His poster was titled “Individual Differences In Parafoveal Preview Effects When Preview And Target Differ In Reading: An Exploration of the Reversed Preview Benefit Effect”.
USF had the honor of hosting the 4th Annual Florida Psycholinguistics Meeting on October 13th. Psycholinguists and scholars from related fields around the state came together to share research and gain new perspectives on various topics and research techniques. Many of our undergraduates from EMaC Lab presented fabulous posters at the conference.
Anna Marie & Zoe discussed “Using Implausible Previews to Study Parafoveal Processing”, data from an upcoming manuscript.
Alex presented his poster entitled “Individual Differences In Parafoveal Preview Effects When Preview And Target Differ In Reading: An Exploration of the Reversed Preview Benefit Effect”.
Danielle, Alexis, & Julianna presented preliminary data from “How Do Individual Differences Influence Reading Efficiency?”
Jamie showcased oral reading data with her poster “Assessing Parafoveal Preview Effects Through Eye Movements and Oral Reading”.
Dr. Liz Schotter and Emily Johnson have received a Nexus Initiative Award from USF. The grant will allow them to travel back and forth to Boston University to continue collaborating with Dr. Amy Lieberman from the Deaf studies program there. Their work focuses on Deaf signers’ visual attention and language perception.
Richard Rogers has been nominated for a Research Excellence Award for his poster “The Impact of Unexpected Stimuli in Cloze Tasks on Cloze Probability and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA)” presentation at the USF OUR Colloquium this past week. Congratulations!
On April 19th, 2018 Caitlin, Danielle, & Richard each presented research at the USF Undergraduate Research Conference; an event annually hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Research. They gave great poster presentations!
