Marisa Casillas is an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, specializing in psycholinguistics and language acquisition. Her work focuses on how cognitive and social processes shape language learning and communication in children and adults. She employs experimental and observational methods to study cross-cultural language development, with particular attention to non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) populations. Casillas leads the Chatter Lab (https://chatterlab.uchicago.edu/), which conducts interdisciplinary research on child language environments and interactional development. Her research explores topics such as noun bias in language acquisition, turn-taking in conversation, and caregiver-child communication in diverse communities like Tseltal Mayan villages and Rossel Island (PNG). She has developed innovative methodologies for analyzing daylong recordings of children’s linguistic environments, including tools like ALICE and HB-CHAAC. Casillas emphasizes open science practices and cross-cultural collaboration, contributing to global datasets on language input and child development. Her recent work investigates vocal coordination in caregiving interactions, the role of linguistic diversity in cognitive development, and the application of computational methods to naturalistic speech data. She has pioneered studies on sign language turn prediction and cross-linguistic comparisons of child-directed speech patterns.
