PD Dr. Eva Smolka

I am interested in how experience with language affects cognition in the form of memory and perception. I am investigating language processing in healthy adults (monolingual and bilingual), language acquisition in children, and language loss in patients with aphasia. To this end, I am using interdisciplinary methods from experimental psychology, the neurosciences, and linguistics.
