My research focuses on the interplay between language and long-term learning. How does long-term learning about language contribute to our ability to understand language quickly and accurately, and how do linguistic devices in turn affect what we learn and remember over the long term? A related line of work concerns metacognition: how learners understand and reason about their own learning, and how they may leverage that when studying and retrieving information.
