Leone Buckle is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Manchester, affiliated with the Division of Psychology, Communication and Human Neuroscience. She holds a BSc in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Liverpool, followed by an MRes and PhD in Psychology from the University of Manchester, funded by the ESRC. Her research focuses on how environmental experiences, such as exposure to linguistic input and real-life events, shape children’s language development. Key interests include syntactic priming, integration of linguistic and social cues during conversation, and diversity representation in children’s literature.
Her teaching includes courses like PSYC10421: Introduction to Cognition and PSYC31121: Language and Communicative Development in Educational Settings. Research methods employed include syntactic priming experiments, eye-tracking, corpus analysis, and online questionnaires. She is currently supervising PhD students in areas related to her research.
Recent work explores how social contingencies in video/audio interactions influence grammatical learning and examines the relationship between short-term priming effects and long-term language acquisition. Collaborations include projects with the University of Edinburgh and Warwick, focusing on language experience and development. She emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches bridging developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, and linguistic theory.
