BIO
Liz Schotter, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor, who joined the Cognition, Neuroscience, and Social program in August 2016. Her research focuses on understanding the neuro-cognitive mechanisms underlying language processing and comprehension during reading, music processing, as well as decision making. Her research draws on theories and methods in cognitive science, neuroscience, linguistics, and experimental psychology.
