Jared Novick

Jared Novick's work is a beacon for progress in the intricate fields of language processing and cognitive control. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the University of Maryland, he delves into the complex interplay between language, memory, and cognitive control. His research is pioneering, employing advanced methodologies such as eye-tracking, neuroimaging, and lesion-deficit analyses to unravel the real-time processing and comprehension of sentences. Prof. Novick's academic journey is distinguished by a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in Cognitive Neuroscience at MIT. His scholarly pursuits are deeply rooted in understanding how bilingualism and psycholinguistics influence cognitive functions, particularly focusing on memory and attention mechanisms. In addition to his research, Prof. Novick is dedicated to education, teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses in psycholinguistics. His commitment to academic excellence has been recognized through various accolades for his teaching prowess. His courses are known for their rigorous approach and engaging content, inspiring students to explore the dynamic relationship between language and cognition. Prof. Novick's contributions extend beyond the classroom and laboratory, as he actively participates in academic conferences and collaborates with fellow researchers to advance the field of neuroscience. His work not only enhances our understanding of language processing but also provides valuable insights into the cognitive control mechanisms that underpin human comprehension and attention.
