Hannah G. Treadway

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Hispanic Linguistics at the University of Florida where I am co-advised by Dr. Jorge Valdés Kroff and Dr. Edith Kaan. I conduct research in the Bilingual Sentence Processing Lab and the Brain, Language, and Bilingualism Lab. I serve as the Junior Member on the Society for Human Sentence Processing Executive Board and as a co-organizer of the Bilingualism Matters Across the World affiliate meeting at Psychonomics.

My work adopts a context-to-cognition framework to study bilingualism. Integrating methods from sociolinguistics (e.g., corpora, personal social network analysis), psycholinguistics (e.g., eye-tracking and self-paced reading), and cognitive neuroscience (e.g., event-related potentials and oscillations), my research maps the structure of situated language use onto adaptation in bilingual language processing, with a particular focus on code-switching. My work also considers how variability in the bilingual experience across the lifespan manifests as cognitive adaptation to attention, memory, cognitive control, and Theory of Mind. At the broadest level, my research program advocates for contextualized understandings of interaction, cognition, and computation.
