Intérêts de recherche
Gary Libben’s research addresses the question of how structurally complex words are represented and processed in the mind. He conducts psycholinguistic laboratory investigations on how words are processed across languages, how they are represented in the minds of bilinguals, and how their processing may be impaired as a result of damage to the brain. His current research projects include the study of psycholinguistic aspects of writing and lexical processing in interpersonal contexts.
