Interests

Dr. Tio's research investigates the link between language and cognition by examining how language-specific features and language experiences (bilingualism and multilingualism) play a role in influencing one's cognitive processes. Additionally, she is interested in exploring clinical language markers among bilingual and multilingual speakers, specifically in the cases of aphasia and dementia.
