Karen Boyd, an instructor in our Speech Language and Hearing Science Department spoke

 about her research, using both sides of brain to speak American Sign Language at a talk on Thursday evening. Her research focuses on the second-language learning perceptions of spatial tracing construction in ASL and the use of pauses in both spoken English and ASL. Her recent talk highlighted the fact that while those who use spoken English use their right hemisphere every day when speaking so do those who use ASL, but they do so differently when signing every day.
