Research Interests

  • Human memory, in particular, the distinction between explicit and implicit memory

Current Research

I am exploring the effects of different kinds of study tasks on different kinds of implicit memory tests, with a special eye towards the distinction between those implicit memory tests with a competitive component (e.g., stem completion tests) and those with a noncompetitive component (e.g., lexical decision, perceptual identification, and stem decision).
