His research focuses on cognitive mechanisms underlying speech production, lexical access, and semantic-phonological processing. He employs experimental paradigms like picture-word interference tasks and dual-task experiments to investigate competitive lexical selection, grammatical planning, and cross-modal integration in language production. His work bridges cognitive psychology with neuroscience through ERP methodologies.
Recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to understanding semantic interference effects, phonological encoding dynamics, and developmental differences in speech planning. His research shows particular interest in how cognitive load impacts grammatical advance planning and how object-related sounds influence picture naming processes.
