Cognitive Science: Contextual effects (interlocutor) on bilingual language processing

I explore multiple components (language proficiency of bilinguals, familiarity, predictability and monitoring) along with the effects of interlocutors’ language proficiency bilingual language processing using behavioral and Eye-tracking techniques. This area of research is been conducted in collaboration with Prof. Ramesh Mishra
