Research summary
AI-generated

Olivera Savic studies how people mentally organize and process word meanings and concepts, including how relationships between words (such as category membership versus thematic association, like 'dog' and 'leash') are represented and processed in the mind and brain. Her work uses behavioral experiments and brain-based measures like ERPs (event-related potentials, which track brain activity in response to stimuli) to examine language and concept development in children and adults.
