معرفی
Christopher Fennell is a Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, where he has been a faculty member since January 2006. His research explores infant speech perception, early word learning, and the interplay between phonetic processing and cognitive development, particularly in bilingual contexts.
His research interests focus on how infants perceive phonetic detail in speech and how this perception supports early language acquisition. He investigates how familiarity with words and objects enhances infants' ability to access sound details, bridging developmental psychology and linguistics. His work has implications for understanding the foundations of language in children, especially in bilingual environments.
Fennell's research contributes to key areas such as phonology, cognitive development, infant language processing, and bilingualism. Though no specific publications are listed, his work aligns with interdisciplinary studies in psychology, linguistics, and child development.
