实验心理学哲学博士-认知

认知小组在人类记忆，元记忆和注意力方面具有特殊优势。Hourihan博士研究人类的记忆，着重于我们对记忆的了解（记忆）以及除记忆之外的遗忘。她研究了影响记忆和元记忆准确性的因素，包括刺激特征，情境变量和认知能力的个体差异，最终目的是通过改善元认知来促进教育学习。博士 Neath和Surprenant运营着认知衰老和记忆实验室，该实验室对整个成年人的记忆进行了纯正的应用研究。当前的工作包括研究年轻人的基本记忆过程，检查知觉缺陷在多大程度上有助于健康的成年人减少记忆，开发和评估所得数据的模拟模型。
The Department of Psychology has approximately 30 faculty members and 60 graduate students. Faculty have active research programs in many areas of psychology, many of which rely on volunteers from the community. Psychology is also part of the interdisciplinary Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology (CABE) program, which offers both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Interested students should apply directly to the CABE program.<br><br>The Cognition group has particular strengths in human memory, metamemory, and attention. Dr. Fawcett runs the NeuroFog Lab, which adopts a multifaceted approach to understanding the neurocognitive basis of human memory. Although his research focuses on the mechanisms involved in forgetting unwanted memories, he has also conducted work involving eyewitness memory and is interested in bridging the gap between cognitive and clinical topics.<br><br>PhD: 4 years<br>Campus:<br>St. John's<br><br>Application Deadline:<br>February 1 (MSc, MAPS, PhD) for Fall admission
