Η Βασιλική Φώλια είναι απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας της Φιλοσοφικής Σχολής, του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης και κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου στη Γνωστική Νευροεπιστήμη από το Radboud University, Ολλανδία. Ολοκλήρωσε τη διδακτορική της διατριβή το 2013 στο τμήμα της Κλινικής Γνωστικής Νευροεπιστήμης του Karolinska Institutet στη Σουηδία. Εργάσθηκε ως ερευνήτρια (2004-2016) στο Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics και στο Donders Center for Cognitive Neuroimaging. Από το 2009-2012 διορίστηκε Επίκουρη και μετέπειτα Αναπληρώτρια Καθηγήτρια (2013-2018) στο Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS). Από το 2016-2018 επιτέλεσε Επικεφαλής της Έρευνας στις επιστήμες υγείας στο εν λόγω πανεπιστήμιο. Από το 2021 είναι Επίκουρη Καθηγήτρια στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης. Τα ερευνητικά της ενδιαφέροντα εντάσσονται στον χώρο της Νευροψυχολογίας της Γλώσσας και τη μελέτη της γλωσσικής εκμάθησης και επεξεργασίας καθώς και των λοιπών γνωστικών λειτουργιών που εμπλέκονται στη γλώσσα (άδηλη μάθηση κλπ.) μέσω συμπεριφορικών, νευροφυσιολογικών και νευροαπεικονιστικών μεθόδων.
Τα ερευνητικά μου ενδιαφέροντα εντάσσονται στο χώρο της Νευροψυχολογίας της Γλώσσας και τη μελέτη της γλωσσικής εκμάθησης και επεξεργασίας καθώς και των γνωστικών λειτουργιών που εμπλέκονται στη γλώσσα. Όλα τα παραπάνω μελετώνται σε ένα ευρύ φάσμα πληθυσμών, αυτό των ενηλίκων και παιδιών καθώς και κλινικών πληθυσμών. Για τη διερεύνηση της γλώσσας χρησιμοποιώ ένα συνδυασμό ψυχολογικών-ερευνητικών μεθόδων, που προέρχονται από τη νευροψυχολογία και το πεδίο των νευροεπιστημών. Αναλυτικότερα, οι μέθοδοι περιλαμβάνουν τη γλωσσική νευροψυχολογική αξιολόγηση, τη χρήση γνωστικών-υπολογιστικών μοντέλων, τις τεχνικές απεικόνισης και τις τεχνικές ηλεκτροφυσιολογίας και άλλων συμπεριφορικών μεθόδων, όπως η οφθαλμική ιχνηλάτηση.
