PhD Researcher in Psychology (ESRC +3)
College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter
Start date: October 2019
Research topic: Bilingualism and cognitive control
My research is focused on the role of cognitive control in bilingualism. I investigate the circumstances when bilingual communication is challenging and may depend on cognitive control as well as when it may be less cognitively demanding and possibly “cost-free”. I focus primarily on the role of cognitive control in language switching, both in language production and comprehension.
