Ten presentations from members of the Reading and Language Lab were accepted to the 2020 American Psychological Association (APA) – Division 15 and the 2020 Society for Text and Discourse (ST&D) conferences. The APA – Division 15 conference is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. August 8-11. This year’s ST&D conference has been canceled due to COVID-19.
The primary questions addressed in the Reading and Learning Lab concern the relations amongst language and memory, with a focus on understanding and improving learning. In addition to these core issues, the lab is also involved with the development and application of technology-based interventions and assessments. The lab is directed by Guy Bond Chair in Reading Professor Panayiota (Pani) Kendeou.
