DFG-Project "The use of pupillometry in bilingual language assessment" (Pupil-Bila)

With the aim of technology-based early detection of multilingual children at risk of a language development disorder, certain language processing abilities of multilingual children are examined at the beginning of their contact with German using a special eye tracking method. Children at risk identified in this way are examined at a later stage in a long-term study design using comprehensive diagnostics of language production.
