Dr. Emily L. Coderre is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders within the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Vermont. She also serves as the Program Director for the Interprofessional Health Sciences (IHS) PhD Program. Her academic journey includes a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Vermont, an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology from the University of Nottingham, and post-doctoral training at Johns Hopkins University Department of Neurology.
Dr. Coderre's educational background includes:
- Post-doctoral training at Johns Hopkins University Department of Neurology
- Ph.D., Cognitive Psychology; University of Nottingham
- M.Sc., Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging; University of Nottingham
- B.A., Psychology; University of Vermont
Dr. Coderre's research focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of language, with particular interest in semantic processing across linguistic and visual domains. Her work employs neuroimaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate how meaning is processed in words, sentences, verbal stories, comics, and visual sequences. A significant portion of her research examines these processes in autistic individuals, exploring potential differences in semantic processing across modalities and challenging assumptions about visual processing ease in autism spectrum disorder.
Analysis of Dr. Coderre's recent publication record (2020-2025) reveals a strong focus on autism spectrum disorder research, particularly examining semantic processing differences between autistic and non-autistic individuals. Her work spans multiple methodologies including EEG, fMRI, and behavioral measures, with increasing attention to visual narrative comprehension and cross-modal processing. She frequently collaborates with researchers like Neil Cohn, specializing in visual language and comics, indicating an interdisciplinary approach to her research that bridges cognitive neuroscience, communication sciences, and autism research.
Dr. Coderre has received recognition for her educational contributions, with publications on teaching compassion and psychometrics in professional education.
- Teaching Compassion (2023)
- Teaching Psychometrics: The Importance of Validity in Assessment Design (2022)
As Program Director for the IHS PhD Program and an active researcher with publications through 2025, Dr. Coderre likely oversees multiple research projects and mentors graduate students. Her publication record shows consistent collaboration with students and colleagues across multiple institutions, suggesting an engaged mentoring approach. She teaches courses spanning cognitive neuroscience, measurement techniques, interprofessional health sciences, and professional writing/grantsmanship, indicating a commitment to comprehensive professional development for her students.
Dr. Coderre leads research utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques to study language and semantic processing, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder. Her work bridges cognitive neuroscience, communication sciences, and clinical applications, creating a rich interdisciplinary research environment for students and collaborators.
