Eunice G. Fernandes is an Auxiliar Researcher at the School of Psychology from the University of Minho (UM). She is also a member of the Psychology Research Centre (CIPsi) at the same university, where she is conducting the research project ‘Language in social context: Pragmatic processing during comprehension in old age and bilingualism’. Since her PhD in Cognitive Science, awarded in 2015, she has held three postdoctoral positions at the University Paris-Diderot (France), the University of Aberdeen (UK) and the University of Agder (Norway). Her main interest is on how people comprehend language, and why and how Comprehension may differ in monolingual and bilingual speakers, and in young and older adults. She has also an interest in Gaze Following, a social attention mechanism whereby people tend to look at where others are looking, and which is known to be affected by normal ageing. Her current research project at UM will examine how gaze cues are used to support language comprehension in healthy ageing and in mono- and bilingual speakers. She is also interested in other areas of Human Cognition like Visual Attention, and in interdisciplinary research, for example, looking at links between cognitive function, language processing, and other non-cognitive aspects such as physical health. She works with different paradigms and has expertise in eye-tracking and state-of-the-art statistics for linguistic data. She has collaborations with researchers nationally and internationally and has published in international high-impact journals.
