Dr. Julia Huyck is an Associate Professor in the Speech Pathology and Audiology Program at Kent State University’s School of Health Sciences (College of Education, Health, and Human Services). She concurrently holds an Adjunct Assistant Professor role at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, and is a member of NEOMED’s Hearing Research Group. She directs the Perception, Learning, and Individual Differences (PLAID) lab, focusing on auditory perception and cognitive development in adolescents. Her research explores speech comprehension immaturity in youth and mechanisms underlying perceptual learning. Dr. Huyck earned a B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders, M.A. in Learning Disabilities, and Ph.D. in Communications Sciences and Disorders from Northwestern University. Her work bridges clinical audiology, developmental neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. Her research portfolio includes over 15 peer-reviewed articles examining perceptual learning, speech processing in noise, and neurodevelopmental auditory functions. She collaborates across institutions on projects exploring cross-accent speech perception, sex differences in auditory tasks, and neuroplasticity in aging. No formal awards are listed, though her publications reflect sustained scholarly impact. Advising and grant details are not explicitly stated in available texts. She maintains affiliations with Kent State’s Center for Performing Arts and NEOMED’s Hearing Research Group. The PLAID lab actively investigates individual differences in perceptual abilities using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques.
