Erin Isbilen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Child Study Center (Yale School of Medicine), where she investigates how domain-general cognitive mechanisms underpin sophisticated linguistic behaviors. Her research spans word learning, sentence processing, and reading development in pre-literate and early-literate children.
- PhD in Cognitive Science, Cornell University
- NSF GRFP recipient for dissertation on statistical learning
- NIH K99-funded work on neural markers of statistical learning
Her research employs advanced methodologies including EEG frequency tagging and longitudinal studies to uncover predictors of reading readiness. Collaborations include the LLAMB Lab (Yale) and interdisciplinary teams integrating systems immunology and quantitative biology.
Scientific Contributions: Published key findings on orthographic positional biases, chunking mechanisms, and emotional mediation in cross-modal associations. Her meta-analysis on 25 years of statistical learning research has become a foundational reference.
Key Awards:
- Cognitive Science Society’s Glushko Dissertation Prize (2023)
- NIH K99 Pathway to Independence Grant
- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
