Biography / Academic Interests :
Professor Brooks conducts research in the areas of language development in children, second language learning in adults, and speech production and comprehension.  On-going research projects explore (1) speech perception in children with Autism, (2) lexical access in children with Specific Language Impairment, (3) individual differences in adult second language learning, and (4) comprehension errors in sentence processing. Dr. Brooks joined the CSI faculty in 1997 after completing post-doctoral fellowships at Carnegie Mellon University and Emory University.  She was appointed to the CUNY Graduate Center faculty in 1999, and is active in the Ph.D. programs in Developmental Psychology and Cognition, Brain & Behavior.
