Biography

Phillip Hamrick (PhD, Georgetown University, 2013) is Associate Professor with expertise in psycholinguistics, learning, and memory. He is also Principal Investigator of the Language and Cognition Research Laboratory, where he conducts research on the roles of general learning and memory processes (implicit learning, statistical learning, declarative memory, and procedural memory) in language processing and acqusition.

 

Dr. Hamrick's work appears in top-tiered journals in the fields of general science (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), language acquisition (Language Learning), cognitive science (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition), and psychology (Learning and Individual Differences, Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology).

 

You can find out more about his work as it has been reported in Newsweek, Sci-News, and Science Daily, or you can check out his lab website: lcrlab.weebly.com
