The Memory and Language Lab

The Memory and Language lab is located in the Psychology Building on the main

campus of Arizona State University (rooms 329 and 331).  As it is now configured,

the lab includes office space for 2-3 students, four large soundproof booths (used

for experiment preparation and data collection), and one large room for testing

participants in groups up to eight people. 

We are currently using Windows-based computers and

e-prime software for most experiments.  Other

software is available for different purposes.

We now also conduct eye-tracking experiments, using a Tobii 1750 system. 

Current Graduate Researchers

                                       Whitney Hansen (second-year student) is working on several projects, with

                                a primary focus on frontal-lobe functions (working memory capacity, mental

                                control).

                                            Yi He (second-year student) is studying face recognition,

                                     relating patterns of eye-movements to well-known effects,

                                     such as improved memory for emotional faces.
