Research In Profile

Professor Lisa Archibald's research focuses on three interconnected themes: (1) to further our understanding of the memory and learning mechanisms that support the human ability to learn, process, and use a linguistic system of communication, (2) to understand how best to identify children with a language learning impairment and mobilize this knowledge, and (3) to implement and provide evidence for effective clinical practice through collaborative research partnerships.
