Time will tell: What electrophysiology reveals about language comprehension across adulthood
Saturday, October 8, 2022, 2:00 - 3:00 pm EDT, Regency Ballroom
Speaker: Kara D. Federmeier, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Kara D. Federmeier, received her Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego. She is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Neuroscience Program at the University of Illinois and a full-time faculty member at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, where she co-leads the Illinois Language and Literacy Initiative and heads the Cognition and Brain Lab. She also recently served as the President of the Society for Psychophysiological Research. Her research, supported by the National Institute on Aging, examines meaning comprehension and memory across adulthood, using human electrophysiological techniques in combination with behavioral, eyetracking, and other functional imaging and psychophysiological methods.
