Dr. Day's primary research interest is auditory memory, particularly memory for speech. Current research projects include investigations of memory for speech in normal and aphasic adults, the relationships among various language and memory variables in children, and the effect of birthweight status on language ablility and other outcomes (this is a large multi-investigator project).

Dr. Goodman's research addresses how linguistic knowledge is acquired and used by children from the very first stages of learning. Projects include investigations of the nature of children's semantic knowledge and how this knowledge is used in vocabulary acquisition, how parental input affects developing lexical, syntactic and pragmatic knowledge, the role of children's memory for linguistic input in syntax acquisition, and the relation between the vocabulary and grammatical development in early childhood.
