Welcome to the Cognition and Language Laboratory

The CLL conducts experiments via the Web. You may participate by clicking here see results from previous experiments by clicking here. The experiments are short -- some take as little as 2-3 minutes to complete. All are anonymous.

The twin research foci of this lab are cognition and language. That is, our primarily interest is in how language is implemented in the human mind. However, as understanding and using language probably involves many mental activities that aren't strictly linguistic, many experiments delve into other aspects of thinking or cognition.

Using the menu options above, you can participate in current experiments, view results of completed experiments, learn more about cognition and language, find links to other laboratories, etc.

We do send out an email when new experiments are available or results of old experiments are published. Sign up for that list through Google Groups here.
