Curriculum
Vitae
Research Program:
My central research interest is
in the cognitive science of language and reading processes, including lower and
higher level processes and the nature of reading ability. My approach involves
research in a cognitive (behavioral) lab, ERPs, and collaborative research in
neuroimaging (fMRI), and, recently, MEG. The general goal is to achieve a
richer view of language processes by the combination of methods. Current
projects include the following:
- The identification of
universal and writing-system specific components of reading. Comparisons of
Chinese and English word identification processes are the heart of this
empirical program, and recent papers develop a theoretical model of
Chinese word identification. These studies include neuroimaging (fMRI) and
ERP studies. Currently, more active work concerns learning across writing
systems.
- The Lexical Quality
Hypothesis. This work represents my long-standing interest in
understanding the components of reading ability. Our experiments suggest
the importance of lexical representations as a major source of individual
differences in simple comprehension tasks, consistent with our earlier
theories of individual differences in comprehension (Perfetti, 1985,
1992).
- Learning new words.
Connected to the lexical quality work is research on learning the meanings
(and forms) of new words. Both children and adults, and both behavioral
and ERP studies.
- Text comprehension:
Word-based and inference processes. ERPS provide word by word records of
comprehension allowing tests of word-to-text integration processes and
processes that the reader uses to fill the implicit information in a text.
- Learning a second language
as an adult. Emphasis on reading in L2, but also learning the language
itself. Studies of English learners of Chinese and learners of English as
a second language. This work is carried out through the Pittsburgh Science
of Learning Center. http://www.learnlab.org/
