Dr Gary Oppenheim

• PhD (University of Illinois)
• MA (University of Illinois)

Masters modules:

• The Psychology of Language
• (Bi)lingualism Research Methods.

I am willing to supervise a PhD

I use computational modeling, along with behavoural and neurophysiological laboratory experiments and cognitive neuropsychological methods to reverse engineer the architectures and algorithms underlying language production.  Much of my current work focuses on word learning and word retrieval.  A second line of research considers the little voice that is supposed to be in your head: inner speech.
