Project 1: Is scene information bound in LTM? What can this tell us about how memories are stored, remembered, and impaired? Additionally, what can eye-tracking tell us about how LTMs are bound together?

• Current Status: Data collection

How are emotional events remembered? What can physiological information like eye-tracking, pupillometry, and EEG tell us about these processes?

Current Status: In development

The Mennie Memories lab collaborates with a number of groups on various cognitively-related projects. Some of our current collaborations include:

• Naval Research Lab Projects: The Mennie Memories lab recently started a partnership with the NRL in Stennis, MS. We are working with their engineering psychologists to establish a mutually beneficial research program. 

• The INSPIRE Project: Dr. Krystal Corbett Cruse of Mechanical Engineering  developed a program for first-year women entering engineering programs. We are currently looking at the efficacy of such programs with an eye towards large-scale implementation.

• Usability Education: There is great overlap between the fields of usability, technical communication, and cognition. Yet, these fields don't always interact. In conjunction with Dr. St. Amant of the Center for Health & Medical Communication, School of Literature & Language, we are working to fix that.
