Congratulations to now DR. Amritha Mallikarjun (@avmalli ) on a successful defense! Her dissertation was titled "The use of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) as a model for speech perception." Congrats again Dr. Mallikarjun! #PhD

[Dog Science Says @dogsciencesays]

Hi, we are the Language Development Lab at UMD! Our primary research focus is the development of speech perception and language learning in infants, but we also study speech perception in bilinguals, people who have experienced TBI, and dogs!
