The groundbreaking science of how and why we talk, and how this ability impacts every area of our lives.

Hi! I’m Maryellen.
I am an author and researcher interested in psycholinguistics, the study of how we comprehend, produce, and learn languages.
I have researched the impact of language in children, young adults, elderly adults, and patients with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as language production in six different languages.
I live in Madison, Wisconsin. Want to know more?
