My general area of research is adult human neuropsychology and cognition, with an emphasis on integrating behavioural and electrophysiological (event-related brain potentials) measures of brain function in aging and neurological populations. My current research interests include: 1) identifying patients at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (e.g., patients with mild cognitive impairment) by studying neuropsychological, EEG/ERP, and anatomical measures of language, executive function, and memory; 2) examining bilingual language processing and executive control; 3) studying audiovisual speech perception; and 4) ongoing development of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test.
