I’m an Assistant Professor in the Psychology department at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), an Affiliated faculty with the Cognitive Science PhD Program at RIT, an Affiliated researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Connecticut, and I head LL-DCN at the SPaCE Center at the National Technical Institute of the Deaf (NTID).

The Langdon Laboratory for Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (LL-DCN) aims to advance understanding of how different experiences with language and sensory differences impacts the cognitive processes underlying other domains of cognition. Currently, our most active line of research is focused on investigating how deafness and later first language impacts the learning of early numerical cognition. The aim is to generate knowledge that will have a twofold impact: (1) refines and improves our models of cognition (perhaps even revolutionizes them!) (2) can be used by applied education scientists for them to be informed in their attempts to design better interventions for children with later first language exposure.
