I'm interested in the cognitive science of language. My research uses a
variety of methods to examine the cognitive processes underlying our
ability to produce and comprehend speech. In particular, I focus on
(a) the production of speech and (b) our knowledge of sound structure.
Methodologies include:
Behavioral studies of language processing
Psycholinguistics
Cognitive neuropsychology
Acoustic phonetics
Mathematical and computational models of language processing
