My primary research program investigates the social psychological factors involved in the production and comprehension of language. Much of this research is summarized in Holtgraves, T. (2002). Current research examines language processing deficits in Parkinson's Disease and the lateralization of speaker meaning. I have additional research interests in gambling and risk-taking, and personality and information processing.
