Duckling Lab

Hello! We’re the Developmental Underpinnings of Cognition and Kid Linguistics (Duckling) Lab at Boston University’s Department of Linguistics. We study how children and adults learn, use, and make sense of the languages around them.

What we study

Our Research

The Duckling Lab investigates language across the lifespan — from first words to adult comprehension.

We’d love to have you
be part of our research.

We’re always looking for children, families, and adults to participate in our studies. It’s fun, easy, and makes a real difference.
