Autorenporträt

Aaron J. Newman is Professor at Dalhousie University, Chair of the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, and Director of the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab. His research program in cognitive neuroscience focuses on how the brain organization for language, hearing, and vision can be altered by experience. Giordana Grossi is Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and Director of the Brain and Cognition Lab. Her empirical work, which employs both behavioral and electrophysiological measures, explores aspects of automaticity and expertise in visual word recognition in both monolinguals and bilinguals.
