Current research interests: I am interested in implementing neuroimaging techniques in order to inform cognitive theory. Specifically, my research interests center on the cognitive domain of memory, of which I am interested in exploring the degree to which neuronal processes that support different types of memory (e.g., prospective memory, recognition memory, and source memory) are similar and distinct. Currently, I am conducting a prospective memory (i.e., memory for intentions) experiment in the dense-array EEG environment. In this experiment, I am examining how the neural activations supporting prospective remembering differ depending on the type of intention (e.g., focal or nonfocal) one has formed. This study has theoretical implications for, among others, furthering our understanding of how prospective memory is supported by attentional mechanisms. Additionally, I am interested in carrying out neuroimaging and behavioral studies to explore how one’s mental agenda (or current task goal) and the contextual features of to-be-remembered material affect both encoding and retrieval of memories.
