Principal Investigator
Simone Schäffner is interested in the multimodal aspects of language. Her work is focused on modality switching and the role of input-output modality compatibility while language processing. She received her PhD in Cognitive and Experimental Psychology from the RWTH Aachen University in 2018 with a dissertation entitled Modality-Specific Effects in Linguistic Multitasking. Afterwards she spent two years as a postdoc at the Cognition & Development Lab at the University of Koblenz-Landau. Since January 2021, she is working at the University of Würzburg at the department of Special Education and Therapy in Language and Communication Disorders. She is currently one of the Principal Investigators of the project Modality-Specific Effects on Language Processing in Children with Developmental Language Disorder.
