Katie Jobson

CV

Graduate Student

Temple University

Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory

Expected Graduation: May 2025

Ongoing Projects:

  • The Cerebellum’s Involvement in Syntax and Other Language Processing (supported by her F31 1F31HD115005 – 01A1)
  • Social Cognition and Language Development in the Cerebellum
  • Language Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Research Interests:

  • How structural connectivity mediates social knowledge, language, and cognition.
  • Structural and functional connectivity of the cerebellum and its role in non-motor functions, including how cerebellar damage can cause language dysfunction and autism spectrum disorder.
  • The cerebellum’s impact on language and social development.
Dissertation work:
 
Investigating the cerebellum’s role in language and social cognition throughout development using diffusion-weighted imaging techniques.
 

Future Plans: 

Katie hopes to continue her research in social cognition and language, parsing out the role that the cerebellum has in conjunction with the cerebrum on correcting both social behavior and language. She is also interested in investigating that change in feedback as we age.
