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, multitasking, and decision making 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.
