Elisa Lawler

I am a second year graduate student in the Cognition and Communication Lab.

My research interest is in language production. In particular, I am interested in how speakers plan and prepare what they are going to say before they begin their utterance. In the lab, we use eye tracking and speech analysis techniques to investigate this. I am also interested in investigating the relationship between the planning of speech and movement.

My research advisor is Dr. Zenzi Griffin.
