Specializations

• Neurocognitive processes of language comprehension
• Language acquisition across life span

Research Description

I am interested in how human brain processes sentences and acquires new information from language. My current projects use eye-movement and electroencephalography (EEG) combined with behavior measurements to study the mechanism of ambiguity resolution and statistical learning in children and adults. I am also interested in the relationship between working memory, executive function and language processing.
