Barbara Malt Dear Colleague, Please bring the following information to the attention of potential graduate school applicants from your program, especially those interested in language and cognition. GRADUATE TRAINING IN HUMAN COGNITION AND DEVELOPMENT AT LEHIGH UNIVERSITY The Psychology Department at Lehigh University offers a doctoral program in Human Cognition and Development that combines focus with flexibility. Students take core courses in Cognition, Development, Social Cognition, and Research Design followed by advanced seminars in more specialized topics. We draw particular attention to the potential for training in the psychology of language, and especially cross-linguistic approaches to the study of language, within our program. Faculty working on language-related topics include Barbara Malt, who has been using cross-language comparisons to study the representation of word meaning and category boundaries; Jerry McRoberts, who studies infant perception of native and non-native speech; Ageliki Nicolopoulou, who studies development of narrative and its role in the formation of identity and understanding of the world in a cross-cultural perspective; and Pat O'Seaghdha, whose research concerns planning processes in language production in English and other languages. Students interested in language and cognition also benefit from other faculty both inside and outside the Psychology Department. Luce Professor Mark Bickhard studies theories of representation, including representation of language. Other Psychology faculty specialize in social cognition, cognitive development, social and cognitive aging, and other related fields. Students interested in language within our program can also take advantage of the presence of associated faculty such as Glenn Blank, a computational linguist (in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and Alex Levine (in the Philosophy Department), a philosopher of mind interested in language and cognition. Several slots are open for fall 2000 admission. Deadline for applications: Feb 1, 2000.
