Kristi Hendrickson, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Research focus
Kristi Hendrickson's research focuses on how listeners and readers recognize spoken and written words, how they attach words to meaning, and how they use words earlier in a sentence to predict upcoming words. She and her research staff examine this process in a range of populations (children and adults, individuals with hearing loss, dual language learners). Eye-tracking and EEG (electroencephalogram) are tools of these investigations.
