Research description
My research focuses on the psychological mechanisms involved in aspects of language acquisition and use. I am particularly interested in basic perceptual mechanisms as the basis of diverse computations in both in artificial and natural grammar learning, and the role of perceptual cues for word learning. I normally employ behavioral experiments with humans, and computational modeling when I am bored. Now I will add research with non-human primates to investigate the same mechanisms in a non-human species. Ideally, this research will reveal some computational tools used by the language faculty, and indicate which of these are specific to humans and language.

And, for the very curious, I also have a CV.
