Nick Reid

Nick Reid is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). His research focuses on cognitive psychology, utilizing computational methods to explore language, concepts, and memory systems.

• Education: PhD from Western University
• Postdoctoral Training: University of Manitoba

Reid's work bridges computational modeling with empirical studies of memory, emphasizing semantic-episodic interactions and figurative language processing. Current projects examine visual scene memory and cross-cultural differences in cognition. He collaborates internationally to investigate language-perception interplay across cultures and languages.

Key research themes include:

• Computational models integrating semantic and episodic memory
• Cross-linguistic analysis of metaphorical expressions
• Cultural variations in concept formation and perception
• Visual memory encoding mechanisms
