Dr. Liz Schotter is Assistant Professor in the Cognition, Neuroscience, and Social Psychology program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on the coordination of visual perception and cognitive processing when people read, speak or make decisions. Liz's work primarily uses eye-tracking. For example, she studies the processing components underlying reading (e.g., visual perception, word identification, comprehension, eye movement control, etc.) and how they change under different situations (e.g., reading silently vs. aloud, proofreading, speed reading, etc.) as a function of linguistic factors (e.g., words that are more vs. less common, expected, confusable, plausible, etc.) and for different readers (e.g., children vs. adults, in different languages, for bilinguals, etc.). She holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, and a B.A. from Washington University, St. Louis. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and received the John A. Stern Outstanding Research Prize and the Eugene Tavenner Prize from Washington University.
