About: 

Dr Margreet Vogelzang’s research combines psycholinguistic, statistical, and cognitive modeling methods to investigate different aspects of language processing. Specifically, she works on syntactic and semantic processing throughout the lifespan with a focus on multilingualism. Her research entails both written and spoken language processing, both offline (comprehension) and online (eye-tracking, EEG, fMRI). Additionally, she is interested in the influence of cognitive abilities on language processing.

 

Teaching interests: 

Psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science, research methods.

 

Research interests: 

Dr Vogelzang’s research interests include, but are not limited to, psycholinguistics, language processing, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, cognitive science, (cognitive) neuroscience, cognitive modeling, multilingualism, language acquisition, aging, pronoun processing, cross-linguistic comparisons, and individual differences.
