Dr Gunnar Jacob studied psychology at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster and did his doctorate in experimental psycholinguistics at the University of Dundee (Scotland, United Kingdom). He researches in the field of morphological and syntactic processing mechanisms of native speakers, foreign language learners, and bilingual speakers.
