What can I do in SLAB?
SLAB is a space for conducting experimental research on language learning and processing. SLAB has been optimized to provide a quiet place for collecting data from human participants in a variety of experimental paradigms. All LAE lab users, not only those working on bilingualism or SLS-related research, are invited to use SLAB for these purposes. The lab is equipped with three sound-attenuated booths (2 containing computers) intended for data collection from psycholinguistic experiments. An additional three workstations (with 2 PCs) and tables are available for data collection in less noise-sensitive studies, as well as for stimulus construction and data analysis. Advanced Users can reserve individual workstations or tables for data collection.
