The MAPLE (Memory And Psycholinguistics in Learning & Education) Lab at the University of Pittsburgh investigates (a) how linguistic cues in text and speech contribute to our long-term learning and, in turn, how our long-term experience affects online language processing, and (b) how our metacognition, or awareness of our own learning and reasoning, contributes to these processes. We're also excited by how interventions such as intelligent tutoring systems can enhance language skills by providing relevant language experience.
