RECORDED ON DECEMBER 18th 2023.
Dr. Fernanda Ferreira is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Davis. She serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Fair Open Access journal Glossa Psycholinguistics. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Cognitive Science Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE), and the Association for Psychological Science (APS). Dr. Ferreira’s area of research is psycholinguistics. She uses basic insights from formal linguistics, especially theories in sentence phonology and syntax, to develop models of processing. The fundamental aim of her research is to uncover the mechanisms that enable humans to understand and generate language in real-time and in cooperation with other cognitive systems.
In this episode, we start by talking about the questions Dr. Ferreira focuses the most on. We then go through topics like the mechanisms that enable humans to understand and generate language in real-time; how the position of modifiers in English influences how words are processed; speech disfluencies, and how comprehenders deal with them; how often comprehenders misinterpret language; whether there is a relationship between fluency and intelligence; the role of redundancy in comprehension; the study of reading and information processing through eye-tracking; and language learning.

04:16 Mechanisms that enable humans to understand and generate language in real time
08:50 How the position of modifiers in English influences how words are processed
