Studies of acquisition, development, processing and language disorders in infants and children.
We thank the team from NOVA SBE Public Policy Institute for their invitation to Sónia Frota to participate as an expert in the Rethinking Early Childhood Policy Workshop - two intense days of knowledge sharing and discussions towards evidence-based public policy recommendations.
We have just presented at the Child Language Symposium 2026 (UCL) work on the perception-production link in infant perception of prosody in typical and atypical development, and on prosodic training in dyslexia. We thank the audience for the great interest in our work!
Our recent paper ‘Articulating while listening supports the emerging perception-production link in early infancy’ (nature.com/articles/s41...) has been featured on ClearSkyScience. It is great to have our research accessible to the broader public! Visit www.clearskyscience.com/en/10.1038/s...
We invite expressions of interest from postdoctoral researchers planning to apply to the MSCA PF 2026 call, with the Center of Linguistics of the University of Lisbon as host institution, and the Labfon & Lisbon Baby Lab as the research group.
We announce the tenth edition of the STEM Summer School - Summer Training in Experimental Methods. labfon.letras.ulisboa.pt/summerschool...

We’re excited to welcome Begoña Pericas Herrero to our lab as a postdoctoral researcher. Begoña will be helping in the EEG lab for our project exploring how gamified training can support second-language learners in mastering new phonemes.
We’re delighted to welcome Eva Gonzalo Gómez for a research stay in our lab. A PhD candidate in Applied Linguistics at the University of Salamanca, Eva studies how adult English speakers acquire L2 Spanish phonetics and phonology.
