Research Interests

Very broadly, I am interested in exploring the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying developmental dyslexia.

Phonological Deficits in Developmental Dyslexia

My dissertation research examined the role that phonology plays in reading.  In a series of studies I employed measures with high temporal sensitivity (eyetracking and ERPs] to examine processing as it unfolds. 

As a postdoctoral research associate, I am currently engaged in research designed explore abnormal brain development in dyslexia using functional neuroimaging. 

Category Learning in Children

Along with Dr. Paul Minda I have been exploring how the learning of novel categories changes across development.
