Expertise Summary

I use a range of behavioural techniques as well as eye tracking and electroencephalogy in my research. I am interested in factors that influence how deeply we comprehend discourse. I have explored how these factors might change across the lifespan and more recently in bilinguals/multilinguals. More recently, i have become interested in exploring how language background can influence executive functioning. I also investigate ways in which you can measure language background and language proficiency. I also investigate more applied areas such as factors influencing food choice, the effects of music on anxiety and mental health.

I am currently working on a project which aims to create a database of translation norms of Bahasa Malaysia-English words. The aim is to develop a Bahasa Malaysia language proficiency test. By creating the database and proficiency test, these resources can be used by researchers interested in investigating cross-language processing differences between Bahasa Malaysia and English. I am also investigating how language context can influence executive functioning.

Past 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@

I have worked on the effects of age on recognition memory as well as how age can impact on discourse comprehension

Future 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@

In the future, i will be focusing on factors that affect picture naming. I also intend to investigate how bi/multilinguals use linguistic cues in discourse.
