Rebecca Treiman is an American psychologist. She is the Burke and Elizabeth High Baker Professor of Child Developmental Psychology at Washington University in St. Louis and head of the Reading and Language Lab there. Treiman's research focuses on spelling and reading, and especially on the linguistic factors that affect these processes.[1]
Dr. Treiman's work focuses on the cognitive and linguistic processes involved in reading and spelling, particularly how children learn these skills. She has studied a variety of topics, including children's invented spellings, the characteristics of English and other writing systems, and the special difficulties faced by children with dyslexia and those who are deaf.
