Biography

Judith Kroll received an A.B. (1970) in Psychology with a minor in Mathematics from New York University.[3] She completed an M.A. (1972) and PhD (1977) in Cognitive Psychology at Brandeis University, supervised by Maurice Hershenson.[4] Kroll held faculty positions at Swarthmore College (1977-1978), Rutgers University (1978-1981) and Mount Holyoke College (1981-1994), prior to moving to Pennsylvania State University (1994-2016), where she directed the Center for Language Science. Kroll moved her lab to University of California, Riverside (UCR) in 2016 and then to University of California, Irvine (UCI) in 2019.[5] With colleagues from UCR and Penn State, she is Co-Principal Investigator of a Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) grant to provide training for language scientists to pursue research on bilingualism.[6] Kroll is married to David A. Rosenbaum, a professor of psychology at UCR.[7]

Research

Kroll's research program examines the cognitive processes underlying bilingualism. Her research has been supported by The National Science Foundation (NSF) and The National Institutes of Health (NIH).[8] With Annette de Groot, she co-edited the Handbook of Bilingualism: Psycholinguistic Approaches.[9][10] In 2013, Kroll was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to conduct research exploring how learning a second language and becoming a bilingual person impacts processing of one's native language.[11]

One of Kroll's research foci has to do with language selection in bilingual speech. She discovered that when one language is spoken, both languages are active.[12]
