Her educational background includes: Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from University of Pittsburgh M.Sc. in Computational Linguistics from Carnegie Mellon University Honors B.A. in Computer Science and Linguistics from University of Delaware Dr. Van Dyke's research centers on cue-based retrieval theory, examining how retrieval interference causes comprehension failures in both normative processing and clinical populations (dyslexia, ADHD, age-related decline). She pioneered the application of speed-accuracy tradeoff methodology to diagnose direct-access retrieval mechanisms and investigates individual differences in eye-movement control during reading. Her work bridges cognitive theory with clinical applications through machine learning classifiers for reading disability and fixation-related brain imaging of word-by-word processing. Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on retrieval interference mechanisms across multiple methodologies: eye-tracking studies establish individual skill factors in oculomotor control, neuroimaging work identifies neural correlates of interference resolution, and machine learning approaches develop diagnostic classifiers. Key trends include the role of predictive timing in fluency disorders and dissociation between grammatical vs. semantic interference effects.
