In my PhD, I study language learning as a discriminative, predictive process of uncertainty reduction. To get at this, I generate predictions using computational modelling, and then test these predictions with human participants using artificial language learning experiments. I often collect data on-line, and here you can read an interview I gave to Gorilla, a platform for hosting on-line experiments, about my work.
