Language Back to Research Language is one of the most fascinating areas of psychology. The study of language provides a window into the workings of the mind, and bears on issues of how the mind represents meaning, how infants learn, how we speak and understand words and sentances in real time, how human languages differ from communication systems of other species, why language evolved, and how it is represented in our brains. These interests are reflected both in our course offerings and in research opportunities available in our labs. Our colleagues in Linguistics and Communicative Disorders Departments significantly enhance our strength in the study of linguistic structure, developmenet, and disorders. In addition, resources at the Waisman Center support researchers interested in both typical and atypical language development, as well as fMRI and PET research facilities including the new W. M. Keck Center for Functional Brain Imaging and Behavior .
