Research interests
My research combines experimental psycholinguistics with computational modelling to understand how people map language onto meaning in real time.
- Expectation, surprisal and the N400/P600
- Situated language comprehension and visual attention
- Probabilistic and connectionist models of processing
- Adaptation to linguistic experience and context
