Reflecting on the debate
Manuel de Vega graduated in Psychology at the University
Complutense of Madrid. He is Professor of Psychology at the
University of La Laguna, Tenerife, teaching graduate and
undergraduate courses in Psycholinguists. Dr. de Vega's research is
in the area of language comprehension, and the neurological bases
of meaning.
Arthur Glenberg received his BA in Psychology from Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio, and his PhD from the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor. Before moving to Arizona State University in 2008, he was a
professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr.
Glenberg's research is in the areas of memory and language
comprehension, and he is regarded as one of the foremost proponents
of the embodied approach to language. Dr. Graesser is a full
professor in the Department of
Psychology, adjunct professor in Computer Science, and co-Director
of the Institute for Intelligent Systems at the University of
Memphis. Dr. Graesser received his Ph.D. in psychology from the
University of
California at San Diego and has been a visiting researcher at Yale
University, Stanford University, and Carnegie Mellon University.
His primary research interests are in cognitive science, discourse
processing, and the learning sciences. One goal of his research is
to integrate psychological theories of learning, language and
discourse processing with computer technologies, such as AutoTutor,
Coh-Metrix, QUEST, and Question Understanding Aid (QUEST).
