Biosketch
I became interested in psychology during high school. At first, I assumed that the only career open to someone interested in psychology would involve psychotherapy. However, in college, I was exposed to cognitive psychology. I discovered that I could do research in this fascinating field by pursuing an academic job.
Research Interests
My research specialty is human learning and memory. In practice, this means that I carry out experiments in which subjects see a list of words and then receive a test on their memory for the words. Research such as this is done to determine what makes some events more memorable than others. Specific topics that I have studied here include the effects of repetition on memory and the relationship between short-term and long-term measures of memory.
