Biography
I am interested in language processing, particularly syntactic processing. I am also interested in hemispheric function, including investigating the contributions of each hemisphere to language processing, particularly in the area syntax. Additionally, I am interested in the effects of aging on syntactic processing. My research in these areas has combined both event-related brain potentials and behavioral methods.
