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@usd.edu Click here to download C.V. |
Kelly CottonM.A. City University of New York, 2020
B.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.

Megan McCrayB.A. Marshall University, 2019
My interests include the study of cognitive load and multi-tasking and their application to critical environments. I am interested in developing risk mitigation tactics through cognitive research and the application of Human Factors principles. In 2019, I graduated from Marshall University with a B.A. in Psychology. I am currently pursuing an Ph.D. in Human Factors Psychology at the University of South Dakota.

Katie RobersonI hope to explore the influence neurodivergence has on memory and cognition. I joined the lab to experience the research process firsthand. I am working towards an undergraduate degree in Medical Biology. After graduation I plan on attending medical school or pursing a graduate degree in Genetics or Neuroscience.

Anika GramI find the physical and psychological components that influence human memory very interesting. I joined the lab to gain experience in scientific research and to learn more about these individual components. I am currently working towards an undergraduate degree in Medical Biology and plan to pursue a graduate degree in a scientific research field or attend dental school.

Garrett ClendeningI'm interested in the human brain and how external stimuli can influence that cognition. I joined the lab to learn more about the interaction between human cognition and attention. I am currently working towards a major in Medical Biology and Cognitive Neuroscience at USD. After I graduate, I plan on going to PA school with a focus on Family Medicine.
