Victoria has wide-ranging experience in conducting psycholinguistic research that draws upon a range of cognitive neuroscience techniques to address key research questions. Work to date focuses on the performance of the cerebral hemispheres during written word recognition, the influence of psycholinguistic variables on reading performance in healthy readers and on the reading performance of brain-injured patients.

Victoria has both national and international research collaborators, including Dr Jeremy Tree (Swansea, UK), Dr Cristina Izura (Swansea, UK), Dr Rhian Worth (University of South Wales, UK), Professor Rhys Jones (Aberystwyth, UK), Dr Jona Sassenhagen (University of Frankfurt, Germany) and Dr Alexander Dröge (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany).Victoria is currently working on research funded by Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol that examines the memory performance of Welsh-speakers. In collaboration with Professor Rhys Jones at Aberystwyth, Victoria is also currently exploring how Welsh-English bilinguals make decisions about which language to use to initiate a conversation (funded by Aberystwyth University Research Fund).
