Jennifer graduated magna cum laude from Williams College,
Massachusetts, where she received B.A. degrees in Psychology and
Philosophy and was the college's first Cognitive Science
concentrator. She also studied at the University of Oxford (host
affiliation: Exeter), where she successfully undertook Tutorial
Papers and Final Examinations in developmental psychology,
metaphysics, linguistics and formal logic. Here in the Cognitive
Neuroscience Lab at Cornell University, Jennifer's focal graduate
work uses an individual differences framework for examining both the
nature of statistical learning and its empirical relationship to
language. She further researches the statistical learning of long-
distance dependencies and, in collaboration with the Cornell
B.A.B.Y. Lab, the development of intra-/cross-modal statistical
learning across infancy.

Becky graduated magna cum laude from Cornell in May
2009 with a BA in Linguistics and a concentration in
Cognitive Science and in Law and Society. She is interested
in language and the brain, specifically in processing of
complex sentences. She wrote her honors thesis,
"Schizophrenia and Language: The Possibility of Early
Detection,” about the concept of using linguistic variables
(specifically clausal complexity) as an indicator of the
presence of, or vulnerability for, schizophrenia. She is
interested in learning more about language processing and
pursuing its applicability as a window into cognitive
impairment.
