Veronica Ford

Veronica Ford is a Part-Time Lecturer at the University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Law. Her interdisciplinary research bridges cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and clinical psychology, examining bilingual language processing, reading disorders, and technology-assisted psychiatric diagnosis.

Research focuses on cognitive mechanisms in bilingual reading, eye-movement patterns in clinical populations (schizophrenia/dyslexia), and developing human-centered diagnostic tools using wearable sensors. Studies employ eye-tracking, ERP, and computational methods to analyze language processing and cognition.

Recent articles (2020-2025) investigate cross-language activation during reading, L1 orthographic effects on L2 speech, psychiatric diagnosis systems using ECG, and perceptual span in disordered reading. Work consistently integrates behavioral, neurophysiological, and computational approaches.
