Professor 凯瑟琳Caldwell-Harris was trained at UC San Diego, 1985-1991, where she studied under the guidance of Elizabeth Bates, Jeffrey Elman, David Rumelhart, Rama Ramachandran, Ronald Langacker, Patricia Churchland and (via CMU) Brian MacWhinney and Jay McClelland (and of course many other wonderful teachers and scholars). 自1991年以来,她一直是波士顿大学的教员。
她的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究兴趣广泛,涵盖语言处理的各个方面,包括第二语言习得,语言的情感方面和单词识别。 She is the first researcher to document that emotion words elicit larger skin conductance responses in a first language than in a second (see 应用心理语言学论文). She is currently studying emotional reactivity in the U.S. for speakers who grew up speaking Russian, Mandarin, or Spanish, as well as English native speakers who learned Russian as a foreign language (see 演示文稿 for an overview of this research and 2009 journal article on 用母语和外语撒谎). See also a recent powerpoint which discusses the role of motivation in second language acquisition. 她还对大于单个单词的单位在所有类型的语言处理中对流畅性和效率的重要性感兴趣。
在单词识别方面,她擅长澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究一种有趣的视觉/认知错觉——重复盲视。 She has shown how illusory words can be created by embedding word fragments in the visual stream, as in “pain grain avy” (leads to report of “gravy” (see, for example, her 与艾莉森·莫里斯合作的论文)) . 她使用了重复盲视和相同/差异任务来澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究变音符在土耳其语中的表现。 With German colleagues Martin Heil and Michael Niedeggen she has used this technique to explore consciousness (see our 纸 in Neuroreport). 她的结论是,观众感知到的东西对随后的大脑状态和处理比视觉输入的实际内容更重要。 重复盲视与正字法启动的新模型 appeared in 2009 in the journal 认知心理学.
In her cross-cultural research, she is the originator (with Ayse Aycicegi) of the 人格文化冲突假说. 我们认为,具有与文化价值观一致的个性有助于促进心理健康。
