Sid Horton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University, where he serves as the Director of Cognitive Psychology. His research primarily focuses on psycholinguistics, exploring the processes and memory representations that underlie routine language use. His work falls within the domain of pragmatics, where he examines the social contextual factors that influence how people use and understand language. Horton has investigated a range of issues, including the role of common ground and memory processes in discourse production, and how comprehenders incorporate extralinguistic information into language interpretation, particularly in relation to non-literal language. He is also interested in the nature of people's epistemic judgments and how knowledge and beliefs about individuals influence conversational collaboration.
