Research Interests:

Memory is at the heart of virtually all other psychology processes and behaviors. In this lab, we focus on several aspects of memory, especially how information is organized and stored (acquired) in memory and how it is accessed and used. One of the methodologies we use is studying memory and other cognitive illusions, as a window into how the mind works and why it is vulnerable to certain illusions. A principal goal of this program is to develop a comprehensive (or unified) mechanistic theory that can explain many memory phenomena and make testable, novel predictions about tasks that have yet to be performed. We have also begun to use converging methodologies from neuroscience, in particular fMRI and ERP.
