Research Interests
My research is primarily concerned with types of knowledge
representations and processing mechanisms employed in language
comprehension, especially reading. Some of this research
involves computational modeling of the "connectionist" or
"neural network" type. The goal of this work is a theory of
language comprehension that accounts for detailed aspects of
skilled performance, and can be related to the types of linguistic
impairments that are observed both developmentally and as a
consequence of brain injury. Current work is concerned with a
model of word recognition in normal and dyslexic reading.
