My research focuses on the brain bases of learning and memory processes and how these change over the lifespan, especially as related to language learning and processing. I primarily use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to study experience-dependent brain plasticity, i.e. what becomes set in early life versus what remains plastic in adulthood, and the role of prior experience in learning, i.e. interactions between semantic and episodic memory and the corresponding cognitive and neural changes in healthy ageing.
