Dr. Matt Goldrick

Biography

Matt Goldrick is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University and serves as the Director of the Cognitive Science Program. His research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive science and language, focusing on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying linguistic knowledge and processing in both mono- and multilingual speakers. Through the use of behavioral experiments and formal models, Goldrick builds theories that elucidate how language is acquired and processed in the brain. He is currently engaged in research enhancing speech processing using deep learning techniques and exploring acoustic analysis. His work has significant implications for understanding psychomotor features associated with voice indicators in various mental health contexts, particularly in patients with Major Depressive Disorder. Goldrick’s research contributions have been published in notable journals, reflecting his expertise in perceptual adaptation, bilingualism, and speech intelligibility. He continues to influence the field through his publications and active involvement in research projects supported by prestigious organizations such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health.
