ABOUT US

The Cognition Lab at Governors State examines human cognition, including perception, memory, creativity, and learning. In particular, we investigate factors that influence memory accuracy and vulnerability to false memories; aging; the role of memory in creativity; as well as the scholarship of teaching and learning. Further research focuses on assessment and development of co-curricular engagement in college students, especially those who identify as first-generation.

Most research takes place on campus with GovState students, faculty and staff. Community participation is welcomed and aging research may take place off-site. If you are a student interested in learning the research process or participating in a research study, we encourage you to contact our lab! We are located on the third floor of the D building at Governors State University.
