Welcome to The Word Lab at UCL!

Researchers at the Word Lab aim to answer the following fundamental questions:
• How do we rapidly and accurately understand the meanings of each word we read/hear?
• How do we learn new information about what words mean?
• What makes some people better at understanding language than others?
