Our paper (Staub, Dodge, & Cohen, 2019) on readers’ failure to to notice repetitions and omissions of ‘the’ has been featured by the Psychonomic Society, in this excellent article by Cassie Jacobs.

(Did you notice the repetition above?)

In Fall 2018 I will be teaching a new class, Psychology of Reading (Psych 391RE).  It will meet Tuesday and Thursday 1-2:15.

This undergraduate seminar focus on the cognitive processes involved in reading.  We will review research on word recognition in skilled reading, on how reading is integrated with the control of eye movements, and on how readers comprehend sentences.  We will also learn about the neuroscience of reading, about reading development and instruction, and about how reading works in non-alphabetic writing systems.

I would be happy to have students from a variety of disciplines (e.g., Linguistics and Com Dis), in addition to Psychology students.  If you’re interested in an advance copy of the syllabus, please contact me.

I will be on sabbatical during spring 2015.  Starting in December 2014, I may not reply to email quite as rapidly as usual, but I will, eventually, reply.  Students who are interested in working in my lab in Fall 2015 should drop me a line at some point in late spring or over the summer.

I’ll be around more than not, though I’ll be doing some work-related travel to talks and conferences.  In the summer, I will be in Paris as a Visiting Professor for the Labex EFL Project, where I’ll be giving some lectures about predictability effects in language comprehension.  I’ll also be teaching a mini-course at the University of Salzburg on eye movements in reading, and teaching at a summer school at the University of Milan-Bicocca.
