Research Interests

Dr. Bell research interests include production and perception of normal and impaired speech, language and hearing.  Dr. Bell joined the CSLA Faculty as a Professor of Communication Disorders in September of 1998 and joined the Psychology Department in 2003.   Current research interests include spoken word recognition, memory for words, memory for voices, and the effects hearing impairment on peripheral and cognitive word recognition processes.  go to:  Human Auditory Laboratory.
