Richard GerrigProfessor of Cognitive Science, Stony Brook University
Stanford University (1984)
Professor, Cognitive Science
Research Interests: Psycholinguistics, text understanding and representation, nonconventional language, cognitive experiences of narrative worlds.
Current Research:
Dr. Gerrig's research focuses on several theoretical issues in psycholinguistics including the implications of nonconventional language for theories of language processing and processes that give rise to readers' experiences of being transported by narratives, the isolation that narrative worlds provide, and the consequences of readers' narrative experiences for real-world beliefs and judgments. Current projects focus on memory-based text processing with a particular emphasis on the effects of readers' perspectives on text processing and representation.
