Iris Berent is an Israeli-American cognitive psychologist. She is a Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University and the director of the Language and Mind Lab. She is among the founders of experimental phonology—a field that uses the methods of experimental psychology and neuroscience to study phonological competence.[1][2][3] She has also explored the role of phonological competence in reading ability[4][5] and dyslexia.[6][7][8] Her recent work has examined how laypeople reason about innate knowledge,[9][10] such as universal grammar.[11][12]
