Scholarly Areas
Research interests are primarily centered on language processing in both language impaired and language unimpaired child and adult populations. This research program focuses on examining the nature of the information used during on-going language and cognitive processing, in determining when and how different information sources are integrated, and in determining the biological (neurological) bases of these processes. A multiple methodological approach is employed via the fusion of information provided by brain imaging, on-line and off-line behavioral research.
