Biography

Merel Keijzer works at the department of Applied Linguistics, where she specializes in the language and cognitive control of bilinguals across the lifespan. In her work, she tries to integrate bilingual language learning and loss as dynamic processes of growth and decline that occur throughout a bilingual's lifespan. Employing both behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, she is especially interested in establishing how individual bilingual experiences impact on bilingual language development and the bilingual cognitive advantage that is frequently reported.
