Samira Anderson

Samira Anderson joined the faculty of the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences in January of 2013.  She has a background in clinical audiology and she studies the neural processing of speech across the lifespan, with a particular interest in the ways processing impairments affect language acquisition in infants and speech perception in older adults. She uses electrophysiology as my primary research tool, but she also uses perceptual and imaging assessment techniques in collaboration with other faculty.  In 2017, she received the "Excellence in Teaching Award" for tenure-track faculty in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences. She is a faculty member of the Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing, and the Language Science Center.   Collaborators: Jonathan Simon Sandra Gordon-Salant Matthew Goupell Stefanie Kuchinksy Joshua Bernstein Olga Stakhovskaya Catherine Carr Katherine McLeod
