Barbara Jean Juhasz

Barbara Juhasz is a cognitive psychologist who studies reading and word recognition in adults. She explores factors affecting skilled word recognition and vocabulary development using a variety of methods. For example, participants might be asked to provide questionnaire data to assess their experience with words, discriminate real words from made-up nonwords (lexical decision task), or read sentences silently while their eye movements are recorded. Eye-tracking provides a particularly effective way to examine the time-course of word recognition during silent reading.

Dr. Juhasz received her B.A. from Binghamton University and her M.A. and Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
