I am a cognitive scientist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and Counseling at Arkansas State University. I am interested in psychology of language, especially how we know the meanings of words and represent them in our minds. I am also interested in how this affects other aspects of cognition, such as literacy, music, and social skills.
