Vitevitch to speak at Barkley Memorial Center April 13

05 Apr 2010    

Michael Vitevitch, University of Kansas, will speak at Barkley Memorial Center April 13.  The presentation is scheduled for 12:00 P.M. and will be held in 313 Barkley Memorial Center.

"My research employs several research methodologies including analyses of speech errors, experimental tasks, and computational models to examine how information pertaining to words is stored in memory and how the organization of those words in memory enables us to access that information so quickly and accurately. More precisely, I study the nature and organization of lexical representations and the processes used to retrieve information from the mental lexicon during speech production and speech perception (or spoken word recognition)."

 Vitevitch's talk is sponsored by the Department of Special Education & Communication Disorders.
