Dayoung presents work at CUNY 2018!

Dayoung presented a poster on "Complexity effects in A- and A'-dependencies" at the CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing, which took place this year at UC Davis.

The work presented here is an important part of Dayoung's dissertation research, and she earlier presented a preview of it at this year's inaugural California Meeting on Psycholinguistics, held at UCLA in December.

Dayoung displays excellent presentation skills and crowd management techniques!
