Hello Visitor!

I am an associate professor in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience of Language in the School of Psychological Science, University of Bristol.

​

I am interested to know how people understand oral and written language in real time and without visible effort, especially in cases where linguistic input is rather complex and unpredictable. A question that I have focussed on lately concerns memory representations and neural mechanisms supporting language-based communication. I also have done work on development of counterfactual language and negation in young children and how it interacts with their theory-of-mind and cognitive control.

My translational research has looked at the possibility of using early automatic EEG responses in clinical diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairement and dementia.
