CoCo’s Professor Kenny Coventry and Dr. Colin Hamilton recently won a new Economic and Social Research Council grant (value £160K) to examine the constraints underpinning the use of spatial and non-spatial demonstratives (words such as this and that), and how memory for object location is affected by the use of these terms. The grant will utilise the 'memory game' methodology Coventry, Valdés, Castillo, and Guijarro-Fuentes (2008) pioneered to elicit demonstrative use naturalistically, and also features the use of cutting edge virtual relative technology to test how object locations are described.
