Text Box: Current Courses Cognitive Psychology (with lab) Learning and Memory (with lab) Seminar "Remembering" Text Box: Research Interests My research deals with learning and memory. While my early efforts examined associative processes in the context of Pavlovian conditioning, my major focus has been on human memory, first memory for individual words and later memory for texts. As part of the latter studies, I tracked the time course of comprehension and examined the role of different factors in comprehension, including word-, sentence-, and text-level factors. My current research program addresses memory for the serial order of stimulus events. As in the comprehension research, I investigate the time course of cognitive processes, in this case, the time course of retrieval. The goal of the research is to use the pattern of processing times to make inferences about the cognitive processes that support the task.
