learning

Guest speaker at the *Language, Learning, & Cognition Lab* meeting, Royal Holloway, University of London.

Talk for Memrise's *MemTalks* series on the benefits of sleep for language learning.

We test whether sleep-associated memory benefits are observable in naturalistic language learning.

Virtual poster presentation at the upcoming Cognitive Science Society meeting.

Ongoing; ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship research
