Michael Walsh Dickey

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Science and Disorders at the University of Pittsburgh. I direct the Language and Brain Lab at Pitt. I am also a research health scientist at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. My professional homepage is here.

I work on sentence comprehension and production in both normal and disordered populations. I’m particularly interested in using insight from linguistic and psycholinguistic theory to help understand grammatical and higher-level language deficits among brain-injured individuals. I am also actively interested in developing and testing treatment methodologies motivated by linguistic theory. In pursuing this research, I have looked at the comprehension and production of movement sentences, ellipsis constructions, and sentence-level and discourse-level temporal interpretation.

Until 2007, I was Senior Research Associate in the Aphasia and Neurolinguistics Research Laboratory in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University. I was previously affiliated with the department of Linguistics at Northwestern.
