Research

Overview

The Interplay between Memory and Language Processing

Projects

My research investigates the possible contributions of memory in supporting online language processing. More specifically, we investigate how information about previous language episodes may be encoded, consolidated, and recruited to support similar language experiences in the future. We use a range of techniques to assess our research questions, including in-person and online behavioural testing, and electroencephalography to measure brain activity during sleep.
