Jonathon D. Crystal

Jonathon Crystal received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in 1992, where he worked in the laboratories of Sara Shettleworth and Ken Cheng. He received is Master of Science and PhD in 1994 and 1997 from Brown University, where he worked in the laboratory of Russ Church. From 1997 – 1999, he was an assistant professor of psychology at the College of William & Mary. In 1999 he moved to the University of Georgia where he is currently an associate professor of psychology.
