Michael Kaschak

Michael Kaschak is Professor of Psychology at Florida State University, studying language production and comprehension processes. His research examines how social, cognitive, and perceptual factors influence language choices, and how action planning systems interact with linguistic comprehension. Dr. Kaschak leads the Language and Cognitive Processes Laboratory, investigating embodied cognition through experimental paradigms.

His research focuses on structural priming effects, action-sentence compatibility, dialogue alignment, and embodied language processing. Recent publications explore hysteresis in spatial language, reproducibility in embodiment research, and structural persistence in conversations. Work consistently integrates psycholinguistic experimentation with theoretical modeling.

Dr. Kaschak has contributed methodological advances for studying language embodiment and maintains collaborations through multi-lab replication initiatives. His research received funding from National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.
