Christina Schelletter

Dr. Christina Schelletter is a researcher at the School of Creative Arts, University of Hertfordshire, specializing in bilingual acquisition, language processing, and disorders. Her work integrates psycholinguistics and education, with a focus on bilingual children, spoken word recognition, and eye-tracking methodologies.

• Key Research Areas: Bilingualism, language development, spoken word recognition, eye-tracking studies
• Notable Projects: ELIAS - Early Language Intercultural Acquisition Study (2008-2010), Word Access in Monolingual/Bilingual Speakers (2016-2018)

Her research explores how bilingual children process language compared to monolingual peers, examining neighborhood density effects in spoken word recognition. Recent publications analyze L2 input quality, syntactic development in foreign language learning, and cognitive skills' impact on language comprehension.

Dr. Schelletter has published extensively since 2001, with a focus on bilingual acquisition mechanisms and eye-tracking applications. Current outputs include a 2024 study on neighborhood density effects and 2021 work on L2 grammar comprehension factors.

She employs eye-tracking technology to investigate language processing across different populations, including preschool children and bilingual adults. Collaborations span intercultural and cognitive domains, with network linkages in language acquisition research.
