I’m interested in how people can understand each other although their
language use is not precise (e.g., when they use figurative language);
and what the reasons are why they sometimes fail in the comprehension
process. Moreover, I have a wider interest towards language
comprehension in general and towards visual cognition. I primarily
examine these questions using eye tracking, and combining eye tracking
with other laboratory measures.
