Short CV
Arnout Koornneef is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Education and Child Studies. He received his Ph.D. from Utrecht University in 2008. Afterwards he spent 4 years as a teacher (and post-doctoral fellow) in the Linguistics Department of the same university and in 2012 he was a visiting professor at the University of Florida. Arnout has been on the faculty at Leiden University since 2014.
Research
Arnout’s research focuses on the question of how readers construct a coherent mental representation of texts. In his current projects he examines how digital reading applications can foster the reading acquisition processes of beginner readers. He uses various research methods, ranging from simple reaction time experiments to more sophisticated eye-tracking techniques.
