Research / Scholarly interests
Anuenue is fascinated by language. His research aims to understand the cognitive mechanisms that support language comprehension and learning. His interests include prediction: how much thinking ahead do language comprehenders do, and what do their predictions reveal about the language system? His interests also include individual differences: how and why do language comprehenders vary in their skills and abilities, and how can they be supported? He uses a range of methodologies to capture the temporal dynamics of cognition, including eye tracking, EEG/ERP and internet-mediated mouse tracking.
