Overview:

Leah Kapa earned her PhD in Child Language at the University of Kansas and completed an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Arizona before joining the faculty.

She addresses questions about how we use cognitive skills, like memory and attention, to learn and process language and how we use language to complete difficult cognitive tasks.
