My research is focused on the cognitive processes associated with the recall of future intentions and language processing. Specifically, I study how bilingual people perform prospective memory (PM) activities that differ in their requirements (cognitive load, linguistic context, etc.). Also, I’m very interested in exploring how different bilingual experiences and the language in which the task is completed impact these memory processes. In addition to behavioral data, in our studies, we observe the neural correlates of PM in bilinguals recording brain activity using the electroencephalogram (EEG).
