We conduct behavioural (e.g., eye-tracking) and neuroimaging (e.g., ERP) experiments to investigate the following questions*:
- How do bilinguals resolve within- and cross-language ambiguity during written and spoken language comprehension? How do individual differences in executive function constrain language comprehension and production? (NSERC funded)
- Is bilingual experience and ability associated with structural and functional brain changes in healthy older adults? (CIHR, CRLMB & RBIQ funded)
- How do first and second language users learn, represent and process figurative language? (SSHRC funded)
- How do neuropathological/psychiatric conditions affect language processes such as ambiguity resolution and skilled reading? (CRC, CRLMB funded)
