Language

Research focus involves studies with unimpaired populations and centers on the processes engaged during on-going sentence comprehension. The LANG’s work thus far has explored:

• lexical activation during sentence comprehension, including argument structure and meaning;
• processing sentences that contain lexical and structural ambiguities and
• the use of prosody and other information during sentence processing.

Cognition

The lab studies the role of various aspects of cognition and their interaction with language function, including:

• neural underpinnings of cognitive neglect syndromes;
• effects of working memory impairments on cognitive function and
• visuo-spatial deficits in hearing and deaf populations.
