Theses apl. Prof. Dr Jens Bölte
My main interest is language: language comprehension, speech and language acquisition in adults. I investigate mental processes that take place in fractions of a second. Speakers produce 3-4 words per second. Listeners find the right word within approx. 300 milliseconds from a set of approx. 50,000 words stored in their mental lexicon. Due to my interests, I mainly supervise work in the field of psycholinguistics.
I also supervise theses in cooperation with colleagues from the Institute of Biomagnetism and Biosignal Analysis, the Institute of Medical Psychology and Systems Neuroscience and the Institute of Translational Psychiatry. Dependent measurements such as RT, eye movements, EEG, MEG and fMRI are used in the theses. An overview of the theses I have supervised can be found in the following table. Current thesis topics can be found under News.
