Joanna Morris

Joanna Morris serves as Associate Professor of Psychology at Providence College, holding a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania (1998). Her academic home is the Department of Psychology within the institution's structure.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 1998

Dr. Morris specializes in morphological processing with emphasis on neural mechanisms and developmental trajectories. Her research integrates cognitive psychology, clinical linguistics, and computational modeling to investigate language processing in both typical and disordered populations. Key methodologies include ERP (Event-Related Potentials) studies and deep learning neural network simulations, particularly examining orthographic-to-semantic transitions and morphosyntactic decomposition.

Analysis of her 2013-2019 publications reveals consistent focus on morphological decomposition's role in language comprehension, bridging theoretical linguistics with empirical neuroscience across developmental, clinical, and computational domains. Her work demonstrates particular attention to storage-computation interactions in morphosyntax and clinical applications in language disorders.
