Esti Blanco Elorrieta

Dr. Esti Blanco Elorrieta continues to explore the intricate neural mechanisms underlying language at New York University, where she serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychology. With a keen focus on bilingualism, Dr. Blanco Elorrieta investigates how the brain navigates the complexities of language production and processing. Her research delves into the cognitive processes involved in understanding and producing language, particularly how abstract morphological information is managed during language production. Her scholarly contributions have significantly advanced the understanding of how individuals adapt to mispronounced speech, shedding light on the brain's remarkable flexibility and adaptability. Dr. Blanco Elorrieta's work is widely recognized and has been featured in esteemed academic journals, including Cerebral Cortex, NeuroImage, and Cognition. Her research not only enhances the theoretical framework of language processing but also has practical implications for improving communication strategies in multilingual settings. In addition to her research, Dr. Blanco Elorrieta is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of psychologists and linguists. She actively engages with students and colleagues, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. Her passion for language and cognition is evident in her teaching and her commitment to advancing the field through rigorous research and scholarly discourse.
