Mariana Elias

I am a BA & MA graduate in the department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and currently a PhD student in the same department. The topic of my current, longitudinal, research, supervised by Dr. Tamar Degani and Dr. Anat Prior, is: “How individual differences in executive control modulate cross-language lexical interactions”. We aim to identify patterns of lexical cross-linguistic influences amongst trilingual speakers, as a function of executive control capacities and language proficiency alterations. In a longitudinal design over the course of three years, Arabic-Hebrew-English trilingual students will participate in experimental sessions from their first to third year of undergraduate studies while immersed in their second language (L2) environment.
