Research
Professor De Anda’s research interests include understanding language acquisition in typically and atypically developing English- and Spanish-speaking monolingual and bilingual children. Professor De Anda’s research aims to understand the developmental trajectories of Latinx children in the U.S., with a specific focus in birth to five age range. She has expertise in behavioral measures of language acquisition in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Her lab houses an eye tracking system used to examine language processing in young single and dual language learners. In addition, Professor De Anda engages in treatment efficacy research for young preschool and school-age children with language delays.
