Matthew Green

Dr. Matthew Green is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Bournemouth University, with a focus on integrating computational linguistics and psycholinguistics through empirical studies. His work bridges cognitive science, eye-tracking technology, and agent-based modeling to analyze human cognitive strategies in areas such as sentence processing and visual foraging behavior.

Green's research primarily investigates parser load during sentence processing using well-specified models like surprisal and entropy reduction, testing these against human processing difficulty via eye-tracking. Additionally, he develops methodologies to evaluate hypotheses about foraging behavior through eye-tracking and agent-based modeling, aiming to uncover cognitive strategies in both linguistic and visual search tasks.

His publication trends span psycholinguistics, natural language processing, vagueness in referential communication, and computational modeling of human cognition. His work often employs eye-tracking as a key empirical tool, with subfields encompassing syntactic ambiguity resolution, lexical semantics, and audience-adaptive information presentation.
