Meghan shared the results of our boundary extension collaboration, which found that people who are high in behavioral inhibition showed a reduced boundary extension effect at the 2022 Psychonomic Society meeting in Boston, MA.
Aidan shared the results of our research study examining a shift toward a negative bias of semantic free association during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Virtual Psychonomic Society meeting.
Meghan shared recent research studying whether behavioral inhibition modulates individual differences in subjective ratings of pictures and words at the 2020 Psychonomic Society virtual meeting as a brief presentation.
Neal Joshi presented methodology we developed to measure hemispheric asymmetry using CT and MRI scans in patients with stroke from a project completed with collaboration with A.M. Barrett and the Kessler Foundation at the American Society for Neuroradiology. Neal received a travel award from the Society of Neuroradiology to attend the conference, which was supposed to be in Las Vegas.
Meghan presented results outlining results from our study of aging and changes in functional connectivity of the default mode network, executive network, and salience network at the 2020 Cognitive Neuroscience Sciety meeting. This analysis was conducted using CamCAN database images and was completed in collaboration with co-authors Lila Chrysikou and Irene Kan.
On Thursday in Montreal, Marie presented our poster "Go/Nogo Task Demonstrates Individual Differences in Behaviorally Inhibited Temperament" and on Saturday, Aidan presented our poster "Discrimination of Neutral and Negative Stimuli in Healthy Adults At-Risk for Anxiety." at the Psychonomic Society Annual Meeting.
Meghan Caulfield shared our most recent results demonstrating better pattern separation performance in healthy young adults at risk for anxiety at the 2018 Psychonomic Society Annual meeting.
Stephanie Waldman presented research conducted as part of the Kessler Foundation cooperative research project (in collaboration with Peii Chen, Ph.D) at the 2018 Cognitive Neuroscience Society annual meeting in Boston, MA. Stephanie’s poster, titled Same underlying neural mechanisms for spatial neglect and anosognosia for functional disability, used lesion symptom mapping to examine the neural correlates underlying self-awareness for disability (a symptom called anosognosia) after right hemisphere stroke. Stephanie also presented this research as a spoken paper at the Lehigh Valley Society for Neuroscience Undergraduate conference.
Four lab members braved the snow and did an amazing job presenting their research at the Eastern Psychological Association annual meeting in Philadelphia, PA this weekend.
Mia Coutinho with her poster: Generalization in a pattern separation task implicates hippocampal processes in anxiety vulnerability
Michael Luethke with his poster: Decision making and anxiety vulnerability in a spatial discrimination task
Alex Vogel with her poster: Better performance when discrimination is most difficult: Pattern separation in vulnerability to anxiety disorders
Madeline Wensel with her poster: Why are you angry? Interpretive bias for neutral faces is mediated by gender and risk for anxiety
Three members of the lab were the only first-year students to present their results today at the Academic Research Committee’s student poster session. Congratulations to Alex, Steph, and Mia on their first of many poster presentations!
