Individual Differences in False Memory
This study is a large behavioral and neuroimaging project based out of the Cognitive Aging and Neuroimaging Lab at the Pennsylvania State University. Younger and older adults are asked to complete a variety of cognitive tasks, including memory, language, and processing speed tasks. This project aims to understand how individual differences within these areas can lead to the emergence of false memories.
Adult Strategy Use Across Stimuli and List Length
This was a completely remote project out of the Working Memory and Language Lab at the Boys Town National Research Hospital. Participants were asked to complete a series of 5 short-term and working memory tasks and answer a short memory strategy survey throughout the tasks. This project was designed to explore how adults' strategic memory approaches may change as task difficulty changes.
Effects of Older Adult Memory Strategy Use on a DRM Task
This study expands upon my Undergraduate Research which compared younger adults and older adults on their memory accuracy and false memory production on a DRM task. In this project I am further dissecting the collected data to observe group differences in memory strategy endorsement and their effects on memory accuracy on the task.
