Research: Categorizing complex sounds lays the foundation for the emergence of phonological skills. Studying this process in people with dyslexia can provide insights into their phonological impairments. My research combines controlled behavioral tasks with computational models to understand category learning disruptions in dyslexia and identify conditions for improvement, potentially guiding targeted interventions.
