Dr Holly Jenkins

Holly’s research focuses on exploring how unconscious cognitive processes support language acquisition and processing.

She has previously used a range of novel behavioural paradigms to investigate how these processes change across development in individuals with and without language difficulties. Holly is currently working with Dr Liz Wonnacott on a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust to determine the relevance of discriminative learning models for understanding human language.
