BIO

My research uses psycholinguistic methods to investigate how language relates to the human mind and brain. Specifically, my research program examines what information and how it guides language users’ acquisition and use of form and meaning by testing different languages and populations. My current research has two strands: (1) cross-linguistic research on reference form-meaning mappings, and (2) developmental research on sentence form-meaning acquisition in children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

 

I coordinate the Language, Brain, and Behaviour specialisation.
