Poetry promotes processing: The role of hierarchical metric structure in speaking, listening, and reading.  In her talk, Dr. Breen will describe results from a recent series of experiments exploring how hierarchical timing regularities in language are realized by speakers, listeners, and readers. Dr. Breen's experiments use Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat as well as event-related potential studies to demonstrate the critical role that the temporal regularity of metric structure plays in language processing.
