The PoLaR lab is one of two labs in C-LaBL at UiT, the Arctic University of Norway. PoLaR lab is located in the A-wing (A-1005) of Breivika 3 on the Tromsø campus of UiT. Set up as an interactive, multipurpose space, the PoLaR lab houses eye-tracking (Eyelink Portable Duo), EEG (Two 32-channel Acticap/Liv Amp systems), and communal conference facilities.
While we work with monolingual populations as well, we are particularly interested in bi-/multingualism across the lifespan, especially as regards the interplay and weighting of internal (linguistic and cognitive) and external (language exposure/experience, use in various home and social contexts, access to formal literacy/education, etc.) variables that conspire to explain variation and individual differences.
We collaborate with researchers and labs across Europe and North America.
