Over the years, numerous students have contributed to the work of the Cognition Lab at Denison. Unfortunately, I do not have an exhaustive catalog of every student or every project, but this page highlights some of the individuals and their contributions (like human memory, there is an obvious recency effect). I have been constantly impressed by these students and the things they go on to do once they graduate from Denison.
Franklin Bray ('25) presents the results of a motion simulation study at MPA
Yiwen Wang ('25) shares his project examining selective attention at MPA
Astha Dave ('25), Yiwen Wang ('25), Alyson Marshall ('27), and Audrey Ardoin ('27) work in the lab with the eye tracker
Lexi Knipp ('24) and Franklin Bray ('25) at the Ohio Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference
Sylvia Phillips ('23) represents a large student research team that studied imagination at MPA
Hannah Morton ('22) presents her summer research examining memory for imagined events
Hannah Morton ('22) and Izzy Peel ('22) practice the eye tracking protocol in the "covid adjusted" lab
Jaihao Ran ('19) discusses self-explanations in a game playing environment
Eric Brown ('18) presents his summer research examining goal-directed learning
Manuella Jaramillo ('16) and Victoria Krumholtz ('16) before their talk at MPA
Harshida Pancholi ('15) shares her research on causal reasoning
Julie Cantelon ('13) and Dr. Chin-Parker at the summer research poster fair
Avraham Baranes ('11) discusses the role of emotion in decision making
Amber HIll ('09) discusses her summer research project on concept acquisition
Liz Cummings ('09) and Julie Tucker ('09) ready to talk about how politics shape conceptual knowledge
Jessie Birdwhistell ('08) shares some of her goal-directed learning research
