Dr. Maayan Keshev studies the psycholinguistic process of sentence processing. She is interested in the memory mechanisms that support our ability to understand language, and the ways in which people use grammatical knowledge while sentences unfold word by word. Her work is based on controlled experiments, and uses various methods testing acceptability judgments, interpretation, response times, and eye-movements. This research occasionally also features computational cognitive models.

Dr. Maayan Keshev received her PhD from Tel Aviv University in 2021, then moved to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to conduct her postdoctoral research, before joining our department in 2023.
