Brielle James

Brielle James is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Agnes Scott College, where she contributes to both research and undergraduate education in cognitive and developmental psychology. Her work bridges human and nonhuman primate cognition, examining core mental processes across species.

Her research interests include cognitive development, metacognition, decision-making, perception, memory, and learning. She investigates how children, adults, and nonhuman primates monitor their knowledge and make decisions under uncertainty. Her teaching emphasizes the real-world application of psychological principles, with courses such as sensation and perception, animal and human learning, applied research methods, and research statistics.

The available publications highlight her interdisciplinary approach, combining developmental and comparative psychology. One study explores how preschoolers’ physical movements reflect internal metacognitive awareness, while another examines false memory formation in a language-trained chimpanzee, contributing to our understanding of memory reliability across species.
