Dr. Angela de Bruin is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of York, UK. She holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh (2017), an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from Radboud University Nijmegen (2013), and a BA in Linguistics from the same institution (2011). Prior to her current role, she was a Marie Curie Fellow at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (2016–2019).
Her research focuses on bilingualism, language switching, language production, executive control, and cognitive ageing. Key questions include how bilinguals manage language use across contexts, the influence of individual differences on language control, and age-related changes in language processing. She has secured significant funding, including a UKRI Frontiers Research Grant (£1.2M) and an ESRC New Investigator grant (£298K).
Dr. de Bruin supervises PhD students and teaches modules on bilingualism and cognition. She serves as Associate Editor for Journal of Memory and Language and Section Editor for The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics. Her work has been published in high-impact journals such as Psychological Bulletin and Cognition.
Her research demonstrates how bilingual language control evolves with ageing and how contextual factors (e.g., interlocutors, sentence context) shape language choice. She advocates for rigorous assessment of bilingual experiences to avoid publication biases in cognitive advantage studies.
