In today’s podcast Dr Gemma Taylor, who runs our lab, talks to Dr Amy Bidgood, a lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the University of Salford. Amy is an expert in child language development and was telling us about how children learn their first words and how best to support their language development.
Here are the links for the research that Amy discussed today:
