Speech Science Booth

2023 UC Davis Picnic Day

Learning about Speech Science

The UC Davis Phonetics Lab and Language Learning Lab hosted a joint Speech Science Booth at this year's Picnic Day, a campus-wide open house. Children and adults tried examples of experiments and learned about how we produce, perceive, and learn speech patterns. Thanks to all who came by the booth and our fantastic group of postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate research assistants who helped out!
