The Memory and Attention Laboratory of the City University of New York is located at the College of Staten Island in the Department of Psychology. We are also affiliated with the Cognitive & Comparative Psychology Ph.D. program at the City University of New York's Graduate Center. We study memory, attention, and multitasking in humans. Our work informs current theories of how working memories are formed, the causes of forgetting, and the relationship between working memory and higher-order cognitive behavior.

Kelly's Masters Work Published in JEP:LMC
Doctoral student Kelly Cotton had her Masters research published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition this summer. Her paper demonstrates that consolidation of a trace into working memory also improves long-term recognition for the same information. Her work suggests working memory consolidation is not limited to affecting working memory alone and could potentially be an initial step in the long-term consolidation process.

Congrats to our 2020 Graduates!
Two students from our lab graduated with B.S. degrees and honors in Psychology this year. Congratulations, to Caryn Darmoni and Hannah Bareket! Good luck to both of you as you move on to the next step in your education!
Psychonomics 2019Kelly Cotton and Dr. Tim Ricker presented some of their recent work at the Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society in Montreal. Kelly presented a poster on the effects of working memory consolidation on long-term memory. Tim presented on the effect of visual masking on working memory performance. Both drew lots of interest!
