Jane B. Childers is a Professor of Psychology at Trinity University where she chairs the Linguistics program and serves as faculty adviser for RUF and the PDK sorority. Her research focuses on developmental psychology, specifically how children learn verbs between ages 2-5 across cultures using behavioral enactment, video, and eye tracking methodologies. Dr. Childers earned her B.A. in Psychology from Baylor University (1990), M.A. in Developmental Psychology with linguistics minor from UT Austin (1994), and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from UT Austin (1998), followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Emory University (1998-2000). Her research examines how children use comparative event information to learn new verbs, with cross-cultural studies spanning English, Mandarin, Korean, and Nigerian contexts. She teaches courses exploring fundamental developmental questions about the origins of human thought, developmental influences from social contexts, and language learning as a window into cognition. Her Children's Research Lab engages undergraduate students in meaningful research while providing child development information to local families. Dr. Childers' publication record from 1997-2022 reveals a methodological evolution from foundational speech perception studies to sophisticated cross-linguistic verb acquisition research. Her work consistently explores how children process events during language learning, with increasing attention to cross-cultural variability and visual attention mechanisms. Z.T. Scott award for mentor-based approach in classroom and lab (2022) As principal investigator on an NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15) from 2010-2013 ($199,600), she investigated how comparison develops in verb learning. She actively mentors undergraduates through the Children's Research Lab, which serves as the hub for her research on child language development using behavioral, video, and eye tracking methodologies. The Children's Research Lab employs undergraduate researchers to investigate verb learning mechanisms through behavioral enactment, video analysis, and eye tracking procedures, examining how children compare multiple events to acquire new verbs across cultural contexts.

Jesse Snedeker is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna. His research laboratory explores multiple facets of language development, comprehension, production, and representation across diverse populations including typically developing children, adults, and special populations such as children with cochlear implants, international adoptees, and high-functioning autistic individuals. Dr. Snedeker's research interests focus on how language conveys meaning, with particular emphasis on syntactic priming in children, language development in internationally adopted children, and the interface between language and communication. His methodological approach is diverse, incorporating eye-tracking during spoken language comprehension, corpus analysis, parent-child interaction studies, and training studies to explore word and grammar learning processes. He aims for methodological simplicity and theoretical clarity in his research. His recent work challenges traditional hypotheses in language emergence, particularly the word-order hypothesis and agent-first hypothesis, through studies of emerging sign languages including ABSL, KQSL, and Nicaraguan Sign Language. His research demonstrates that concepts like agent and patient guide language emergence, though not in the ways previously hypothesized. Dr. Snedeker actively presents his research, with recent presentations including a Departmental Colloquium at CEU in July 2023 titled "Who did what to whom? Marking event participants in Emerging Languages." His work spans multiple subfields within linguistics and cognitive science, contributing significantly to our understanding of language acquisition, typology, and the cognitive foundations of language.
