The CoHaBiT PsyLing Lab (Psycholinguistic Lab on COgnition, BeHAvior, Bilingualism, Translation) is a cognitive research hub dedicated to advancing the study of multilingual communication as a complex cognitive–affective system. Its work examines how diverse bilingual experiences shape individual behavior, group interaction, and human–AI co-agency in mediated multilingual communication.
Interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration drives the Lab’s mission. It partners with language service providers, neuroscientists, psychologists, AI developers, and translation professionals to address theoretically grounded and practically relevant challenges in the field.
The Lab is centrally concerned with advancing the understanding of the relationship between language and cognition, with a particular focus on bilingualism and multilingualism as dynamic cognitive systems.
A core objective is to leverage cognitive science to enhance communication and accessibility for bilingual individuals and for communities that rely on translation and interpreting (T&I) services. This is particularly critical in high-stakes contexts, such as healthcare, legal and military settings, where the cognitive and emotional dynamics of multilingual communication can have consequential, real-world outcomes.
Through the application of rigorous experimental/cognitive methodologies, the Lab seeks to contribute to evidence-based multilingual policymaking and inform T&I practices.
