Current research: 

The Language & Multilingualism Lab investigates the cognitive, neural, and social processes involved in bilingual and monolingual language processing across a variety of populations (e.g., healthy younger and older adults, neuropathological populations).  To this end, the lab conducts behavioral studies, mostly eye-tracking, and neuroimaging (e.g., ERP) experiments to investigate the following kinds of questions: How do bilinguals resolve within- and cross-language ambiguity when comprehending written and spoken language? How do individual differences in language history, executive function, and the social use of language, affect language comprehension and production?  Are bilingual experiences and abilities associated with structural and functional brain changes?  How do first and second language users learn, represent and process formulaic and figurative language?  How do neuropathological/psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, dyslexia) affect language processes such as skilled reading?
