Marta Rivera Zurita
PhD student
martarivz@ugr.es

Research interests:
My research interests are focused on the individual differences that underlie language learning. Specifically, my PhD goal is to identify how executive functions, language experience, age, and brain activation differences act on different learning contexts. In addition, I am interested in other aspects of bilingualism such as language production and reading.

Antonio Martínez Iniesta
PhD student
iniesta@ugr.es

Research interests:
Speech therapist and Master in Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience. PhD student interested in writing processes in bilinguals with the general aim of identifying factors that may interfere or facilitate the development of writing.

Cristina López Rojas
PhD student
lopezrojas@ugr.es

Research interests:
Currently, the focus of my research is the cognitive processes associated with prospective processing. Particularly, I study these processes of prospective memory in bilingual people with the objective of exploring the cognitive strategies involved by this population to solve a prospective memory task.

Marta Reyes Sánchez
PhD student
mreyessanchez@ugr.es

Research interests:
Psychologist and Master in Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience. Currently working on a project called “Bilingual education: impact on metacognitive strategies that underlies the learning process”. We are conducting a behavioral experiment to investigate the metacognitive strategies in bilinguals. We plan to adapt the paradigm to pupilometry and EEG to continue with this research and have a broader vision of the phenomenon. 

Melodie Bellegarda
PhD Student

Research interests:
My research focuses on the intersection of language, music, and arithmetic. What are the cognitive processes shared between these three domains? How can music influence learning in language and arithmetic? These are a few of the overarching questions that encapsulate my PhD project.

Research interests:
In my past research, I explored how Spanish-English bilinguals with different proficiency process auditory information and how languages are intertwined in the bilingual mind. Even though my research activity has shifted from purely bilingual topics, as a Czech-Spanish-English trilingual I am glad that Bilingualism Matters spreads the word about the bilingual experience and that I can help a bit in the process.

ANACOR Research Group Members:

Cristóbal Lozano
Associate Professor / Senior Lecturer (Dept. of English Linguistics)
cristoballozano@ugr.es

Research interest:
My main research interest is adult late bilingualism: how people acquire their second language (L2). I currently direct the ANACOR research project, which investigates the acquisition of anaphora and reference in L2 Spanish and L2 English by using corpus methods and (psycho)linguistic approaches.

Teresa Quesada
PhD student
teresaquesada@ugr.es

Research interests:
Second Language Acquisition and Psycholinguistics. My research project focuses on the acquisition of Anaphora Resolution (AR) in bilingual children and adults. AR is investigated by using production and comprehension methods. More info: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Teresa-Quesada-2

Jorge Montaño
PhD student
jorgemont@correo.ugr.es

Research interests:
As part of the ANACOR research group, my main interest is in the acquisition of anaphora resolution (AR) in late bilinguals. In particular, my research project investigates how L2 learners of Spanish (CEDEL2) with typologically different L1s acquire the pragmatic constraints of AR.
