Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ

I am primarily focused on research, studying language production, learning, and related topics from a broad cognitive science perspective, using experiments and computational modeling. One of the big questions motivating my work is how much language (which people usually think of as an example of special symbolic thought) might actually depend on and use the same kinds of representations and cognitive and neural processes that we use for other skilled motor activities.

I'm originally from the US (and currently working remotely from 'the other Bethesda', just north of Washington, DC), so I'm also interested in identifying and tracking the differences between US and UK dialects of English; sometimes I even get to use these in my work. I did my bachelors degree in a small college in Iowa (Grinnell College), then managed a research lab at the University of Wisconsin, Madison for a few years before starting my masters and PhD at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After a brief post-doc at University of California, San Diego, I moved to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ in 2013 to join the School of Psychology.

• PhD
  University of Illinois, 2011
• MA
  University of Illinois, 2009

Masters modules:

• The Psychology of Language
• (Bi)lingualism Research Methods.

I use computational modeling, along with behavoural and neurophysiological laboratory experiments and cognitive neuropsychological methods to reverse engineer the architectures and algorithms underlying language production.  Much of my current work focuses on word learning and word retrieval.  A second line of research considers the little voice that is supposed to be in your head: inner speech.

I am willing to supervise a PhD
