A bit about Padraic Monaghan
After degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy, and Cognitive Science, I studied for my PhD at Edinburgh University. I then worked as a postdoc at Edinburgh, then Warwick University, before lecturing at University of York in Psychology. I joined Lancaster University in 2007 as Professor of Cognition, where I am interested in research on language acquisition, language evolution, literacy development, and the effects of sleep on learning and memory. My research involves experimental studies with infants and adults, corpus analyses of multiple languages, and computational modelling of language processing. See my university profile page for more information.
My role in LuCiD
I am the Principal Investigator for the project 'Cues for different language learning tasks: Simultaneous or successive learning?'. I was also a LuCiD Co-Director from 2014-2018.
My role is now a Co-Investigator on the project 'From oral language to literacy: Beyond 0-5'
