Inaugural Research Seminar hosted by UConn-Waterbury - 4/24/2024
The Reading Brain: Bilingual and Cross-Linguistic Perspectives on Child Literacy.
The first research seminar hosted by Yale Global Literacy Hub and UConn Global/Waterbury Haskins Global Literacy Hub was held on April 24, 2024, at UConn Waterbuy. The speakler was Prof. Ioulia Kovelman, a developmental cognitive neuroscientist specializing in child language and literacy development, with a focus on bilingual children who speak and read in typologically distinct languages like Spanish and Chinese. She investigates childhood bilingualism using neuroimaging techniques such as functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Her research examines the universal, language-specific, and bilingual influences on children's reading development and dyslexia.
