About me
Research interests
But such real-time comprehension can be difficult for non-native speakers. Even if they have sufficient vocabulary and a good grammatical knowledge, they may fail to comprehend sentences as efficiently as native speakers do.
My research investigates what makes it difficult to comprehend a non-native language efficiently and explores ways to facilitate non-native language processing with a focus on predictive processing. I am also interested in how orthographic information influences listening comprehension. I mainly use eye-tracking (visual world paradigm), EEG and reaction time measures in my experiments.

Mingyuan Yang will give a talk on prediction of orthographic and phonological information, Daiwen Gong will present a poster on prediction of sound and number information, and Danning Sun will present a poster on prediction revision in bilinguals' non-dominant language.

This study found that the cognate facilitation effect extends to cognate verb-based prediction but only in low-proficient L2 speakers. You can download the accepted version from here here.
I will present this study at the Psychonomic Society's Annual Meeting.
October 2024
The study tested if encouraging prediction via instructions facilitates word recognition in L2. The prediction instruction sped up target word recognition but lowered recognition accuracy when the target was unpredictable. You can download the paper from here. (Open access)
August 2024
The paper reviews studies on phononolgical prediction and presents a meta-analysis of visual-world experiments that tested phonological prediction. You can download the paper from here. (Open access)

We tested effects of pitch accent predictability by exploiting a sandhi rule in Kansai Japanese (my native dialect!). You can download the paper from here or email me for a copy (sorry, it's not open access)!
