Her PhD is in cognitive psychology and she did her postdoctoral training in speech and hearing at Northwestern University.
Dr. Ingvalson's research interests are in speech perception. Her lab seeks to understand how listeners find sucess when listening is challening, then build on that information to help all listeners be successful.
