معرفی
Anthony Yacovone is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow with a joint appointment at Tufts University's Department of Psychology and Massachusetts General Hospital. He is affiliated with the NeuroCognition of Language Laboratory under the guidance of Gina Kuperberg. His research focuses on linguistic prediction, cognitive neuroscience, and computational modeling of inference, alongside investigations into syntactic processing and real-world knowledge interactions. He will assume a role as Assistant Professor in Boston University's Department of Linguistics starting July 2025.
Education includes a PhD in Psychology from Harvard University (2023), where he worked with Jesse Snedeker on language acquisition and sentence processing, and a BA in Psycholinguistics from University of Massachusetts Amherst (2016), collaborating with Brian Dillon and Lyn Frazier on syntactic processing research.
Key research interests span psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and child language acquisition. His work integrates EEG, eye-tracking, and computational methods to explore topics like form-based prediction in natural contexts, developmental shifts in lexical vs. plausibility-based processing, and code-switching effects in multilingual discourse.
Publications highlight methodological innovations (e.g., web-based eye-tracking comparisons) and theoretical contributions to understanding linguistic prediction mechanisms. Current research emphasizes bridging computational models with neurophysiological evidence in language processing.
