Long Citation (for publication and press release)
Gary Libben is a psycholinguist who addresses the question of how structurally complex words are represented and processed in the mind. He is the leader of both national and international interdisciplinary research networks and has conducted pioneering research on how compound words are processed across languages, how they are represented in the minds of bilinguals, and how their processing may be impaired as a result of damage to the brain. In this research, Libben has developed methodological advances in laboratory psycholinguistics as well as new techniques for the assessment of language loss as a result of damage to the brain.
