The
Cognitive Science Lab is located on the 11th floor of the Social and
Behavioral Sciences Building on the campus of the University of Utah
in Salt Lake City. Most of our work focuses on human memory, reading,
and cognitive control. Given the inter-disciplinary nature of Cognitive
Science, we employ a variety of methods from Cognitive Psychology,
Cognitive Neuroscience, and Neuropsychology to gain leverage in answering
empirical questions about brain-behavior relations. For example, to
investigate brain-behavior relations, we:
- may measure reaction times using naming and lexical decision tasks
- may measure memory using free recall and episodic recognition tasks
- may conduct cross-population studies with healthy old adults or
neuropsychological participants like Alzheimer's patients
- may use functional neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI to determine
the underlying neural correlates of a hypothesized cognitive process

papers and stimuli, and other important announcements about current
lab activities. Thanks for visiting our lab web page! |
