The Speaker
Simon is a cognitive scientist at the University of Melbourne. You can find him at the Computational Cognitive Science Lab and the Complex Human Data Hub at the School of Psychological Sciences.
He is interested in how the mind acquires and represents word meaning through our experiences with the world and the use of language. Current work addresses questions about how connotative meaning varies across different languages and cultures, and how bilinguals learn and represent word meaning.
One of Simon's longest-running projects is the Small World of Words project. This community-drive project uses human word association data to map meaning in the mental lexicon across most of the worlds' languages. This project is ongoing and you're very welcome to participate in the study if you have a few minutes to spare.

The Seminar
In this event in a series, speakers from within the Hub, the University, and the broader research community tell us about their research. Our Research Seminar Series involves speakers covering a broad range of themes surrounding our Hub’s interests, so we’ll hopefully all learn something interesting. Whether you want to learn to inform your own research or to simply satisfy a personal curiosity, we hope to see you there.
