Research Interests
My research investigates aspects of human memory, including how true and false memories are formed, as well as evolutionary underpinnings of the human memory system.
Areas of Expertise
Cognitive psychology; human memory; false memory, including eyewitness identification; adaptive memory and the animacy effect; individual differences and false memories.

Short Biography
I am an experimental psychologist with a focus on cognitive psychology and human memory. I am interested in factors that lead to the creation and avoidance of true and false memories. Recently I have explored the relationship between false memories and individual differences, such as working memory capacity and Need for Cognition. I am also interested in evolutionary explanations for human memory processes, including the survival processing advantage and the animacy effect.
