Lori L. Holt is a Professor of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. She specializes in speech perception, focusing on how general perceptual and cognitive mechanisms contribute to speech perception and how speech can be used to broadly understand auditory cognition. In pursuit of these research areas, she has employed human perceptual and learning paradigms as well as animal behavioral experiments and computational models. Holt received a B.S. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1995 and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology with a minor in neurophysiology from UW–Madison in 1999. She was faculty in the Department of Psychology and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University before taking a position as Professor of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. Holt served as co-Director of the Center for the Neural basis of Cognition and was one of two recipients of the Troland Research Awards in 2013.
