Research Focus
My research focuses on cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and education. I am particularly interested in the processes of language processing during production and comprehension, from a neurocognitive perspective. More specifically, my work focuses on vocabulary learning and processing in humans (children and adults), with the aim of understanding various language-related mechanisms (word learning, reading, bilingualism, multilingualism, etc.) and identifying applications in educational settings and everyday life.
