Bio
I’m an experimental cognitive psychologist interested in describing the information processing performed by the brains of skilled readers that enables them to get so efficiently from squiggles on a page to meaning in their heads. As we read, we get snapshots of words as we move our eyes along the lines of text, about a quarter of a second for each word, and in that time our brain has to isolate one word identity from a very large number of possibilities, depending on the context. How do we do this? Well, my own work suggests that we first identify the component letters of the word that we’re looking at – and we do that in parallel, that is all letters are processed at the same time. Then we need to arrange these different letter identities in the correct order, because a “trail” is not a “trial”. I have proposed an account of exactly how we do this – starting with the Grainger & van Heuven (2003) book chapter, and more recently the Grainger et al. (2016) paper in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
More recently I have turned towards investigating the mechanisms involved in processing orthographic information during sentence reading – processing that is geared to providing the syntactic and semantic information necessary for sentence-level comprehension. My latest work with Joshua Snell (PhD student) and in collaboration with Martijn Meeter (VU Amsterdam) points to an unexpected capacity of skilled readers to be able to extract semantic and syntactic information from several words at the same time. We have developed a new model of orthographic processing and sentence reading that implements this ability, and we have used a novel paradigm, the rapid parallel visual presentation (RPVP) paradigm, in order to test predictions derived from this model.
