معرفی
David Corina is Professor of Linguistics and Psychology at the University of California, Davis and faculty member at the Center for Mind and Brain, where he directs the Cognitive Neurolinguistics Laboratory. His research investigates cognitive and neural mechanisms of language processing with emphasis on signed (ASL) and spoken languages across deaf and hearing populations.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Psychology and Cognitive Science, UC San Diego (1991)
- M.A. in Linguistics, Gallaudet University (1983)
- B.S. in Educational Psychology, New York University (1982, magna cum laude)
His work compares language processing in deaf ASL users and hearing speakers, examining developmental effects in deaf children, neurological impairments, and human action processing. Methodologically, he integrates behavioral experiments, EEG/ERP, fMRI, and neuropsychological assessments to elucidate neural plasticity in language systems.
Recent publications (2021-2024) reveal expanding focus on cochlear implant outcomes in children, structural brain differences in multilinguals, and aging effects in signers. Electrophysiological approaches dominate current work, exploring ASL-English bilingualism, reading comprehension, and neural adaptations through ERP/fMRI paradigms.

Professor Corina serves as ad hoc editor for numerous scholarly journals, foundations, and funding agencies, indicating significant academic service. Specific research grants and student advising details remain undocumented in available sources.
He directs the Cognitive Neurolinguistics Laboratory, which employs interdisciplinary approaches combining linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience to study language neural bases through comparative signed/spoken language research.
