Professor Markus Damian is a faculty member at the University of Bristol, holding the position of Professor of Psychology of Language within the School of Psychological Science. His research focuses on language production, bilingualism, and cognitive control mechanisms. Damian has expertise in experimental methods such as mouse tracking and ERP studies, and his work often explores phonological and semantic processes in language processing. He has collaborated with scholars like Jeffrey Bowers and Colin Davis, contributing to advancements in understanding lexical competition, bilingual lexicons, and the neural underpinnings of speech planning.
Education: M.A. and Ph.D. from Rice University. Research interests include the interplay between orthography and phonology in language production, cognitive control in bilingual speakers, and developmental aspects of speech perception in children with hearing impairments. His publications span over two decades, demonstrating sustained contributions to psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology.
Key methodological innovations include the use of mouse-tracking paradigms to study real-time cognitive processes and the development of adaptive tests for assessing vocabulary size. Damian’s work bridges theoretical linguistics with experimental psychology, emphasizing both behavioral and neurophysiological evidence.
