Research

My research focuses on assorted aspects of language processing.  Current projects include the processing of anaphora, conditionals, listening effort in healthy and hearing-impaired individuals, and eye movements during reading (specifically, what they reveal about incremental comprehension).  I am particularly interested in the processing and representation of indicative and counterfactual conditionals, and with the comprehension of conditional indirect meaning (e.g., conditional promises, tips, threats, and warnings).  Questions on conditional indirect meaning touch on broader research issues related to the ways in which our cognitive systems are able to rapidly utilize pragmatic knowledge during processing.

I sit on the Experimental Psychology Society committee and serve as Conference Secretary.
