[1][2] She is a professor of psychology at Florida Atlantic University, where she directs the Language Development Laboratory.

[10] Her dissertation, which was funded by the National Science Foundation,[11] focused on the role of linguistic input in children's language development.

[14] Hoff's research has emphasized how socioeconomic disparities and other environmental factors impact children's language development.

[15] In particular, her work highlights how variation in the quality of maternal child-directed speech across families may explain individual differences in children's language development trajectories.
