Здорова Нина Станиславовна

Responsibilities

I am leading research projects on bilingual language processing. The methodology of my projects is primarily based on eye tracking, though it also includes traditional behavioral methods like self-paced reading, acceptability judgment tasks etc. Among the ongoing projects, I am actively involved in Russian-Adyghe bilingualism studies and in the reading skills of Russian-speaking monolingual and bilingual children.
