Introducing the Language and Cognition Laboratory

Located in HS128 at the South SIP campus of XJTLU, the Language and Cognition Lab (LCL) was established in 2021, under the Department of Applied Linguistics.

The laboratory comes with generous space, six sound-proof booths and a large central area. The LCL is equipped with E-Prime 3.0 on 11 high-spec computers. Moreover, the LCL also boasts of a state-of-the-art eye-tracker, a Tobbi Pro 1200.

Expansion of the LCL is still underway, where we plan to establish an EEG section (further allowing integration with eye-tracking), and also adapt the laboratory for child language research. Our further intention is to include cognitive measures by using WAIS.
