Research Activities
The goal of my research program is to understand the mental representations and processes involved in the comprehension of written words and how these change with increasing reading skill, both in monolinguals and in bilinguals. A major focus of my work has been on understanding the role of phonological information in word recognition and how spelling-sound information is represented in the mind. Another focus is on how readers understand morphologically complex words. I have also been investigating whether bilinguals activate phonological information from one or both of their languages when reading in just one language. This work is supported by NSERC.
