Joost Rommers

Joost Rommers is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Aberdeen's School of Psychology, where he leads research on language processing mechanisms. His lab employs EEG, eye-tracking, and behavioral experiments to investigate predictive processing in language comprehension and production, with additional focus on memory and learning systems.

His research specialisms span Cognitive Neuroscience, Psycholinguistics, and the Psychology of Memory and Learning. Current work examines how predictive mechanisms operate across language comprehension and production domains, with particular interest in how expectations shape neural processing and memory formation. His methodology integrates electrophysiological measures with behavioral paradigms to uncover temporal dynamics of language processing.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on predictive processing mechanisms, with dominant methodologies including ERP studies (47%), eye-tracking (20%), and lesion-based approaches (7%). Key thematic clusters include neural signatures of prediction errors (33%), memory consequences of predictability (27%), and oscillatory dynamics in speech production (20%). His work frequently bridges language comprehension and production domains, demonstrating cross-paradigm theoretical integration.

Dr. Rommers actively supervises PhD students and currently recruits for projects on neural mechanisms of predictive processing in language. His teaching portfolio includes advanced methodology courses and core psychology modules.
