Individual Differences in Memory
One line of work from our lab examines individual differences in memory, with a particular emphasis on how different populations process contextual information, and the implications of contextual processing for memory functioning. We use different behavioral paradigms, eye-tracking methodology, and neural activity to arrive at a deeper understanding of the role of context processing in different populations.
We examine healthy older adults (65+ age), young adults with individual differences in executive control as measured through working memory capacity tasks, as well as young adults with vulnerability for various forms of mental disease.
