Ardi Roelofs is a Professor at Radboud University, affiliated with the Donders Centre for Cognition. His primary research focuses on psycholinguistics, specifically the neurocognitive mechanisms of language and its relation to cognitive abilities such as attention and memory. His lab investigates these mechanisms using a multi-method approach that includes response time and accuracy measurements, eye tracking, and various neuroimaging techniques, such as EEG, MEG, and fMRI. Roelofs studies typical development in healthy bilingual adults and children, as well as individuals with language impairments, including those who have suffered from strokes or neurodegenerative diseases. He aims to enhance the understanding of speech production, particularly word retrieval, and to improve diagnostic and therapeutic methods for language deficits. His work is recognized in numerous projects and grants addressing different aspects of cognitive control in speaking. Roelofs collaborates with institutions including the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the Royal Dutch Kentalis.
