Anne Cutler is Research Professor at the MARCS Institute, University of Western Sydney, former Director, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Radboud University Nijmegen. Her research centres on the recognition of spoken language, in particular how adult processing of speech is exquisitely adapted to suit the native language (making for great efficiency in listening to the native language, but notable difficulty in listening to structurally different foreign languages).
