Self-paced reading tests with psychopy: A versatile tool for linguistic data collection

Dr. Engin Evrim Önem is a Lecturer at the School of Foreign Languages at Erciyes University. He received his B.A. from Erciyes University (2001) and completed his M.A. in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at Bilkent University (2015). He holds two distinct Ph.D. degrees: one in Linguistics from Ankara University (2011) and another in English Linguistics from Hacettepe University (2022). He also served as a visiting researcher at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut (2008–2009) under the Fulbright scholarship program. His primary research interests encompass experimental linguistics, psycholinguistics, Turkish syntax (specifically scrambling), and applied linguistics. He has published extensively on both anxiety and assessment in language learning, as well as on the cognitive processing of Turkish, utilizing self-paced reading paradigms via PsychoPy. In recent years, his research agenda has expanded to explore the linguistic limitations and processing constraints of artificial intelligence systems.
