Dr Jelena Mirkovic

Associate ProfessorREF Unit of Assessment Lead

School of Education, Language and Psychology

My main research area is psychology of language learning and use. I am interested in the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underpin our linguistic abilities, and in particular how language learning and use are supported by domain-general learning and memory mechanisms. To address these questions, I use a range of methods including behavioural studies and computational modeling, in both adults and children.
