Research Interests

Erika Hoff directs the Language Development Lab which comprises several projects aimed at identifying the human abilities and human experiences that contribute to language development. Our main focus is a NICHD-funded longitudinal study of English monolingual and Spanish-English bilingual children from the age of 2 ½ to 10 years. We are looking for evidence of factors in children's early language experiences and early language development that predict successful oral language and literacy outcomes
