Dear all,
Professor Debra Titone (McGill Psychology) will be the inaugural speaker of the CRAM (Cognitive Research at McGill) Sessions this Friday, September 22, 11:45-12:45 PM (Room 735, 2001 McGill College).
Her talk is titled “Eye Movement Studies of Reading in Bilinguals”

The full speaker list can be found herehttps://www.mcgill.ca/psychology/events-colloquia-0/brownbag-series. ——————————————— Eye Movement Studies of Reading in Bilinguals Debra Titone, Department of Psychology, McGill University Eye movement investigations have long been crucial for building a comprehensive understanding of the cognitive and perceptual processes that support reading and other language processes because of their naturalness and great temporal precision (reviewed in Rayner, Pollatsek, Ashby & Clifton, 2012). Indeed, most of what we know about psycholinguistics has been deeply informed by eye movement reading data, including the fundamentals of word processing, contextual effects, grammatical interpretation, and higher-level aspects of language such as figurative or emotional effects on language. Of relevance here, much of this work has historically focused on university-aged monolingual (or presumed monolingual) readers. However, in recent years, eye movement studies of reading have been extended to a variety of “special” populations, many of which are actually quite common. In this talk, I present some of the work from my laboratory that has used eye movement measures to study a variety of psycholinguistic questions about reading in different populations, such as healthy bilingual younger and older adults. Across these populations, I will focus on the interplay between local word-level processing and more global influences of context, such as what arises from variations in sentential constraint or the interpretive demands of figurative language. ___________________________________ Mehrgol Tiv Ph.D. Student, Psychology, McGill University Language and Multilingualism Lab *mehrgoltiv.comhttp://mehrgoltiv.com/
