Research in my laboratory focuses on visual discrimination and information processing in pigeons. We are interested in such things as expectation and attention, stimulus features and dimensions, and the effects of context and memory load on recognition after short delays. |  | Rebecca Burwell

Neuroscience, Department of
My research program uses neuroanatomical, experimental lesion, and electrophysiological approaches to examine the contribution of brain regions adjacent to the hippocampus (including the perirhinal, postrhinal/parahippocampal, and entorhinal cortices) to memory and to other higher cognitive functions. |  | Russell Church
Psychology, Department of
The ability to estimate durations of time is an essential characteristic of animals and people that is required for rational decisions, accurate memory, association of events, and coordination of various components of behavior with each other and with environmental events. Research in my laboratory is being conducted with rats and human subjects. Four approaches to the study of duration discrimination have been employed: behavioral, mathematical, cognitive, and biological. |  | Ruth Melanie Colwill
Psychology, Department of
My research uses primarily behavioral methods to examine how information is represented by the animal mind. Topics include animal learning and behavior, early adverse experiences on cognitive development, canine communication systems and aggressive behavior, and environmental enrichment. |  | Elena Festa Martino
Psychology, Department of
Broadly defined, my research addresses the neural & cognitive substrates underlying visual perception and attention. More particularly, I am interested in understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms mediating the integration & segregation of sensory information, and how these mechanisms interact with attentional processes. |  | Michael Frank

My research interests focus on basic learning processes, such as timing, choice, and appetitive and aversive conditioning, and on the application of these processes to human problems, such as masochism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). |  | William C. Heindel
Psychology, Department of
My research is concerned with understanding the neural and cognitive substrates underlying human memory and attention using a variety of methodological approaches within cognitive neuroscience, including the cognitive neuropsychological investigation of brain-damaged populations and the use of noninvasive electrophysiological (quantitative EEG/ERP) and functional brain imaging techniques within both normal and brain-damaged populations. |  | Joachim I. Krueger
Psychology, Department of
The goal of my research is to understand the interplay between people's views of themselves and their social beliefs. In the area of self-perception, I have been particularly interested in the egocentric processes, such as social projection and self-enhancement. In the area of social perception, my interests have been focused on social categorization and stereotyping. Rather than studying these topics in isolation, my research strategy is to try to understand the linkages among them. |  | Lewis Lipsitt

1) Sensory and learning processes of infants and children.
2) Consequences of early developmental risk factors.
3) Failure-to-thrive in infants, parental alcohol ingestion.
4) Behavioral conditions in crib death
5) Risk-taking behavior and behavioral self-regulation.

Psychology, Department of
Professor' Malle's research examines the cognitive tools that humans bring to social interaction (often called "social cognition"), especially the capacity to recognize intentional actions, make inferences about other people's mental states, and explain and morally evaluate human behavior. Other topics of interest include the relation between social cognition and language, the structure and function of human values, and people's conceptions of consciousness and free will. |  | Andrea Megela Simmons

My laboratory studies how the nervous system develops, matures, and reorganizes in response to damage. We use frogs as a model system because these animals go through a lengthy larval stage during which their bodies and brains transform to accommodate the transition from an aquatic to an amphibious lifestyle. As adults, frogs can regenerate damaged cranial nerves, making them excellent models to understand the molecular bases of how the brain might recover from injury. | | | J. Michael Walker

My research is concerned with visual information processing, that is, discovering what information is available to the visual system and what parts of that information are actually used. In my experiments, observers usually are trained to perform their best by giving them feedback and practice to help them learn a task. This best performance can be compared across tasks in order to assess what information is actually used to do a specific discrimination or detection. |  | Billy Wooten
Psychology, Department of
My research is concerned with several aspects of vision and visual perception. |  | Jack Wright
Psychology, Department of
My research is on the assessment and perception of personality and individual differences in childhood. Current work focuses on developmental psychopathology, stability and change in personality, and the effects of psychosocial interventions on at-risk youth. Laboratory studies examine how laypeople perceive personality and how their perceptions relate to standardized assessment methods that are widely used in research and clinical practice. |
