Jill Hoover is an NIH Post Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University. Her research examines the interface between lexical and phonological factors involved in morphology and syntax acquisition, and how these factors can be utilized in treatment for children with language impairments.
