LEARNING & MEMORY LABORATORY
|
|
|
Erika Hussey: I am a psychology major, and
business economics and cognitive science
minor for Livingston College. I began research in the lab this past
summer, and enjoyed it so much that I am planning on doing a
departmental
honors research project beginning in the fall of 2006. For the time
being, I will be assisting with projects involving Repetition Blindness
and Repetition Detection in the Memory Lab. After I graduate in the
spring of 2007, I plan on attending graduate school and matriculating
in a
PhD program, preferably one with a strict focus on Cognitive Psychology.

Whitney Cook: I am doing my honors thesis
with Dr. Glass on
an analysis of learning curves from past experiments. The purpose of
our
research is to eventually develop new parameters or models for specific
types of learning tasks.

Michelle
Lodato:
I am a psychology major
on Douglass.
I have been
working in the memory and attention lab since Fall of 2005 with
Kristine Wilckens as Dr. Glass' assistant in data analysis for the
Part-Whole
experiment. In the Part-Whole experiment, subjects are first
shown 48 word pairs one at a time and asked to memorize them as a
pair. On their next visit subjects are presented either the
first word of the pair or a distractor and asked to identify if this
word is one from the study list. Next, subjects are presented
with either the second word or a distractor and asked to identify if
this word is one from the study list. Finally, subjects are
presented with either word pairs from the original study list or a
distractor pair and asked to identify if this pair is from the study
list. On the last day of the experiment subjects are presented
with a cue and asked to recall the target for that word. With
this we are trying to find the link between recognition and
recall. We are looking to see if the probability of recognizing a
word is correlated with recalling the word.

Eric Fendler: I am a
Psychology major and graduating Senior from
University College. I am working with Whitney on reviewing learning
curve
literature for Dr. Glass. What we do is find learning curves, analyze
them, and plot them. We are ultimately trying to devise a parameter
that
can efficiently and accurately predict the reate of learning. If we can
do this then the first data point in a learning curve can determine
rest
of the points on the curve mathematically, and thus we can predict
learning.

Jonathan
Paz: I am a senior at
University
College. I will be graduating in Fall of 2005. I am majoring in
Psychology and Sociology. With the guidance of Dr. Ackroff, I was
assigned to the task of Webmaster and designing this website for
the research group since Spring of 2005.
