Research Interests

My research interests include language comprehension, computational modelling in cognitive science, neural networks, embodied cognition, philosophy of mind, and any combination of these. In my current project (a Marie Curie Fellowship) I compare the psycholinguistic plausibility of different probabilistic sentence-processing models by comparing their word-expectancy estimates to word-reading times and ERP signals.

Previously, I've shown that grammar-based models of sentence processing do not predict word-reading time data as well as connectionist models do. Also, I developed a non-symbolic representation of the meaning of propositions, and showed how it can be applied in models of inference during story comprehension, the retention of text, the resolution of ambiguous pronouns, and incremental sentence comprehension. In addition, I have investigated to what extent recurrent neural networks display syntactic systematicity in sentence processing, and semantic systematicity in sentence comprehension.
