Juhani Järvikivi

Juhani Järvikivi is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on psycholinguistics, socio-psycho-linguistics, and developmental aspects of language processing. He employs methods like eye-tracking and pupillometry to study pronoun resolution, accented speech comprehension, and individual differences in language processing. Järvikivi's work often intersects with cognitive science, exploring how factors like political ideology, personality traits, and foreign accent influence real-time language comprehension.

He teaches courses in psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and directed research, emphasizing experimental methodologies. His research has been published in top journals such as Cognitive Science, Applied Psycholinguistics, and Frontiers in Psychology. Key contributions include studies on children's pronoun processing, the role of prosody in focus marking, and the impact of accent on speech perception.

• Research Interests:
  Psycholinguistics, socio-psycholinguistics, developmental language processing, accented speech, pupil dilation as a cognitive measure, and visual world paradigms.
• Awards:
  None explicitly listed in the provided materials.

Notable collaborations involve investigating the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project and developing tools like the PupilPre and VWPre packages for preprocessing psycholinguistic data. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with cognitive and experimental approaches, contributing to our understanding of language processing in both monolingual and multilingual contexts.
