Research Questions of Interest - To learn more visit my Laboratory or Publications page.

Why are we able to think of CHEESE after seeing the indirectly related word CAT?

Are we faster to recognize the word BOOK after seeing AUTHOR, EDITOR, TRAVEL, or ARTICLE?

Are there differences in the time course of integration and memory for word pairs having locative relations (e.g., ISLAND HOUSE) vs. compositional relations (e.g., STRAW HOUSE)?

How do individual differences such as creativity and executive functioning predict analogical reasoning?
