Project Description
My research focus on healthy memory function in young and older adults. In particular, I focus on how people form memories of individual experiences and also make connections between experiences to derive new knowledge. I use behavioral computer tasks that can be completed in the lab or online. I also use fMRI to measure the brain mechanisms of memory and their age-related change
Tasks and Responsibilites
Students will be involved with designing the experiments and programming them using PsychoPy and MATLAB. They will help manage data collection and complete initial data analysis. They will also be involved in weekly lab meetings where we will discuss projects, review data, and read research articles related to current projects. Outside of lab meetings, students can expect to meet with me individually at least once a week to discuss their progress on projects as well as their plans for the future. Students will receive training on in-person data collection and help document lab procedures for future trainings.
