Dr. Timothy Ricker
Ph.D. University of Missouri, 2013
My research follows two main directions. The first explores how humans maintain information across time and in the face of interfering tasks. The second examines the parameters and processes involved in creating stable working memory representations. I use behavioral experimentation, Bayesian estimation, and mathematical modeling to examine these questions. Contact: Timothy.Ricker@csi.cuny.edu Click here to download C.V. |

Kelly CottonB.S./B.A. University of Rochester, 2015
My interests include working memory, consolidation into long-term memory, and how these functions differ in various populations. I'm particularly interested in using neuroimaging and eye-tracking to inform our knowledge of human cognition. I graduated from the University of Rochester in 2015, with a dual B.S./B.A. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences/Linguistics. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Caryn DarmoniI've always been interested in the memory process. Some details are easily recalled and others left to be forgotten. What makes us differentiate between the two? Is it our interest in the information that helps us store it while we forget things we deem unimportant? I am in the Verrazano Honors Program at CSI. I plan to graduate with a Psychology major and a minor in Spanish and Biology. After graduation, I intend on furthering my studies in dental school.

Hannah BareketI have always been captivated by how our memory works. I joined the lab to learn to learn more about the mechanisms guiding memory performance. I am in the Verrazano Honors Program at CSI. I plan to graduate with a Psychology major and a minor in Spanish. After graduation, I intend to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy.

Victoria NicolettaI am fascinated by the way in which the brain processes information and how the brain creates and stores visual memories. I am also interested in how we distinguish between memories that should be kept and those that should not. I am currently a Psychology undergraduate student in the Macaulay Honors College at CSI with an intended minor in Biology. After graduating, I plan to attend medical school to become a neurologist.

Raquel BartocciLife is a decision making journey. In order to make a decision, one must recall prior information. I am fascinated by the human mind and its ability to remember. I joined the lab to dive deep into processes such as memory recall, decay, and consolidation. I am on the Deans List at CSI and plan to graduate with a Psychology-major/Drama-minor. After graduation, I intend on furthering my education in medical school.
