UCLA Language Acquisition Lab

The UCLA Language Acquisition Lab is a research facility at the University of California, Los Angeles, that studies how people, especially children, learn language. Researchers investigate how infants and young children develop language skills, explore the cognitive and social factors involved, and examine how language grows over time. Using a variety of experiments and observation techniques, the lab aims to understand the processes behind language learning, which can inform educational strategies and language development theories. Its work benefits both scientific understanding and practical approaches to language education.
