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.

I am a postdoc in the Dr. Aine Ito’s lab. My research interest is in understanding how human beings acquire language across life span and across different language groups and how language ability interacts with other cognitive ability by using off-line as well as online measures. The aim of the current project is to understand to what extent L1 and L2 speakers process language by using the eye-tracking method.

Hi, I’m currently a PhD student in Aine Ito’s lab. My research interests focus on the language process of bilinguals, in particular the interaction of L1 and L2, and varied linguistic representations of different language groups. You could contact me by email: e1148822@u.nus.edu

I am currently a Ph.D. student in English Language and Linguistics at NUS and a member of Dr. Aine Ito’s lab. My research interests center around implicit (language) learning, specifically investigating the occurrence of (linguistics) adaptation through prediction error when faced with unexpected predictions. I aim to examine how L2 English learners, with diverse L1 backgrounds, predict and revise their predictions during non-native sentence processing. Utilizing eye-tracking measurement, I hope to make a valuable contribution to SLA and gain new insights into the question of whether prediction is an essential mechanism in (language) learning or not.

I am currently a doctoral student at NUS, working with Professor Aine Ito. My research interests lie in facilitating the real-time processing of the non-native language and discovering its intricate relationship with the native language. Additionally, by utilizing behavioral measures like eye-tracking, I am keen on exploring what can be revealed by the language we speak, especially the errors we make and the difficulties we encounter.

I am currently a joint visiting Ph.D. candidate at NUS, collaborating with Dr. Aine Ito. My research primarily centers on the perception and production of speech prosody among aging adults. I am dedicated to using linguistic, acoustic, and psychological methods to study this issue. My recent work aims to understand how healthy aging influences specific aspects of focus perception, including hearing and cognitive factors. You can reach me via email at 2110147@tongji.edu.cn.

I am currently a Master student on English Language and Linguistics MA programme at NUS (National University of Singapore). My research interests mainly lie in prediction during language comprehension, prediction during bilingual or multilingual language processing, and bilingual or multilingual lexical access. I am recently working together with Prof Aine on a psycholinguistic project on the prediction of native English speakers, which relies on behavioral measures of eye-tracking movements.

I am currently a student in the ELL MA program, working with Aine Ito in the Bilingualism and Language Processing Lab. My research focuses on prediction and cross-linguistic activation in language comprehension via online and offline measures, such as reaction time and eye-tracking. Besides, I find the gap in psychological processes of language comprehension between L1 and L2 speakers meaningful, as it implies how to facilitate L2 language processing.

I'm Jiaxi Lin, currently enrolled in the English Language and Linguistics graduate program. The interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of psycholinguistics has captivated me, and I'm in the process of exploring its diverse possibilities. I'm excited to be part of Professor Aine Ito's eye-tracking project, delving deeper into this fascinating field. I believe that this journey will not only contribute to my own growth but also to the advancement of our understanding in psycholinguistics.

I am currently a master student in the ELL MA program and a member of Aine Ito’s lab of Bilingualism and Language Processing. My research interests mainly focus on prediction and processing of prosody information by L1 and L2 speakers, using offline and online experiment methods. Now I am working with Dr. Chen Hui-Ching on her project on the prediction of L2 Chinese speakers.
