Tamara Gómez Carrero is a predoctoral researcher at the Department of English Philology, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, University of Valladolid, currently pursuing doctoral studies under a Junta de Castilla y León grant (EDU/556/2019) while teaching English II in the Primary Education degree program. Her educational qualifications include: Bachelor's degree in English Philology from the University of Valladolid (2014) Interuniversity Master's degree in Advanced English Studies: Languages and Cultures in Contact (University of Valladolid, 2015) Master's degree in World Languages, Literatures and Linguistics from West Virginia University (2017) Her research centers on bilingual language processing, specifically examining how Spanish-English bilingual children and adults process grammatical gender in determiner phrases and copula structures during code-switching events. She employs mixed-method experimental approaches including eye-tracking technology to capture real-time cognitive processing, with particular focus on L1 Spanish-L2 English populations across developmental stages. Her publication portfolio, though limited to a single 2019 co-authored work in RAEL. Electronic Journal of Applied Linguistics, demonstrates methodological rigor in investigating gender agreement phenomena within code-switching contexts, contributing to broader understanding of bilingual cognition and syntactic processing mechanisms. As an active member of the University of Valladolid Language Acquisition Lab (UVALAL), she contributes to the ongoing research project 'Indicators of linguistic competence in heritage and non-native languages' (2018-2022, PGC2018-097693-B-I00) funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and ERDF, which examines linguistic, psycholinguistic, and social dimensions of English-Spanish bilingualism.

Mads Poulsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Humanities. His academic work focuses on reading development and psycholinguistics, with particular emphasis on understanding the cognitive and linguistic processes that underpin reading comprehension and difficulties. His educational background includes: PhD in Linguistics from University of Copenhagen (2005) MA in Danish from University of Copenhagen (2001) BA in Danish from University of Copenhagen (1999) Poulsen's research primarily centers on reading development and psycholinguistics, with several key areas of investigation. His work on syntactic comprehension has revealed that children's ability to use word order information is as strong a correlate of reading comprehension as well-known prerequisites like decoding ability and vocabulary. He has conducted longitudinal studies on the correlation between lexical processing and reading, showing how different types of naming tasks relate to various aspects of reading. Poulsen was also involved in developing a web-based test for identifying reading difficulties for the Danish Ministry of Education, which is uniquely used from Grade 3 to university level. Additionally, he has developed and tested an app for computer-assisted instruction in early reading. Analysis of Poulsen's recent publications shows a consistent focus on the relationship between syntactic comprehension and reading ability. His work spans multiple methodologies including experimental studies, longitudinal research, systematic reviews, and practical interventions. The research demonstrates how syntactic processing, lexical access, and other linguistic factors contribute to reading comprehension across different age groups and language contexts. Poulsen is actively involved in teaching Linguistics I, Language and Psychology II, and Statistics in the BA program in Audiologopedics. He also teaches specialized courses in Audiologopedic data interpretation and Project design at the MA level, and supervises students in reading, psycholinguistics, and grammatically oriented logopedics. His research has been supported by grants including funding from the Danish Ministry of Education and an IRFD grant for intervention studies on syntax instruction.

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.

Sarah Brown-Schmidt is a Professor of Psychology & Human Development at Vanderbilt University. Her research focuses on language and memory processes in interactive conversation, particularly examining perspective-taking, conversational pragmatics, and how memory impairments (e.g., TBI, Alzheimer's) affect language use. She employs innovative methods like targeted language games and eye-tracking to study real-time language processing.
