Check out a new publication from ACAL's Dr. Valeria Rigobon and Florida Center for Reading Research colleagues. This study examines US college students’ spelling of irregular words in English and what their (in)accuracy can tell us about the nature of word forms stored in memory.

Excited & grateful to share that my Australian Research Council #DECRA application was successful.
