Leo Tecoulesco

Graduate Student

Psychological Sciences


Lee is a sixth year PhD student interested in how individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) learn and use language, with particular emphasis on lexical acquisition and organization. He is interested in the central auditory system’s role in language processing, specifically how inconsistent neural coding of complex speech sounds affects word learning and use. He is also interested in the lack of generalization often seen in ASD and its effect on category formation and extension as well as on word learning strategies. Lee received his masters from UConn in 2018.
