The SPPLab is housed in the Spoken Language Research Laboratories, a state-of-the-art laboratory facility located on the University of Oregon campus. We share this lab space with the Usage-Based Language Laboratory (PI: Volya Kapatsinski), the Speech and Language Laboratory (PI: Lisa Redford), the Language Variation and Change Laboratory (PI: Tyler Kendall), Kaori Idemaru's laboratory, and Charlotte Vaughn.
The labs include the following facilities and equipment:
Two sound booths with multiple recording set ups.
Eleven sound-attenuated running rooms equipped for perception and production experiments. Each room includes both Mac and Windows operating systems, high-quality headphones, and optional recording set ups.
One running room includes an eye-tracker to investigate online language processing.
One pair of running rooms includes a window to allow for conversational experimental paradigms.
Two additional child-friendly rooms for experiments investigating language development.
One additional room for experiments investigating naturalistic conversation.
Work rooms, collaboration rooms, and offices for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty.
