Biography

Kristin Lemhöfer is a Professor at Radboud University and the Principal Investigator at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour. Her research primarily focuses on the neurocognition of multilingualism, particularly how language learners process input in natural environments compared to controlled experimental settings. She employs behavioral and neurocognitive methods, including event-related potentials and EEG, to explore various aspects of second language (L2) learning. Her research interests encompass episodic memory in L2 word learning, individual differences in L2 pronunciation and grammar acquisition, L2 attrition or forgetting, and language control in bilingual and trilingual contexts. Lemhöfer is also involved in projects examining determinants of language pronunciation ability and the processing of morphologically complex words. Her contributions to the field have been recognized through several prestigious grants, including the ERC Consolidator Grant.
