Research
I am interested in how humans process language in
real-time. My research incorporates behavioral as well as
electrophysiological techniques to examine the representations and processing mechanisms that
underlie real-time language comprehension.
A sample of questions that I'm
interested in:
-
What underlies our sucess in comprehending language in real time?
-
How do we compute expectations about upcoming inputs?
-
How do we interpret elements that are far from each other?
-
What kinds of anticipatory and memory retrieval mechanisms are
involved in processing language?
-
What is the nature of the mental representation(s) that we build and
access as we interpret language?
-
What are the roles of
grammatical and pragmatic knowledge in interpreting language?
