Melissa Stockbridge
Postdoctoral Fellow
Melissa Stockbridge is a postdoctoral and speech-language pathology clinical fellow at S.C.O.R.E. Concurrently, she is serving as a primary faculty assistant on a recently-awarded Office of Naval Research grant examining the communication misunderstandings that occur as a result of broader context shaping local interpretation (P.I., Philip Resnik, University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies).
In 2018, she graduated from the combined M.A.-Ph.D. program in Hearing and Speech Sciences at the University of Maryland. There, her work examined how individual differences, such as age, gender, personality/temperament, and mental health influence complex, real-world communication skills and social behavior (P.I.: Rochelle Newman, rotation supervisor: Alexander Shackman), particularly in individuals with recent and/or frequent mild brain injury exposure. Melissa received an M.Sc. in cognitive neuroscience from the University College London, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and a B.A. in applied linguistics from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Honors College.
