About
Dr. Nicole Muszynski is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Hastings College. Her research focuses on animal cognition, learning mechanisms in invertebrates (e.g., honeybees), and the intersection of brain function, behavior, and cognitive processes. She teaches courses such as Animal Cognition, Biopsychology, and Behavioral Neuroscience.
Her work explores how animals process information and solve cognitive tasks, particularly in non-human species. She emphasizes the study of associative learning, oddity learning, and relational learning in honeybees, contributing to broader understandings of comparative psychology and neuroethology.
Research Trends: Dr. Muszynski’s publications highlight advancements in analyzing honeybee cognitive abilities, with a focus on how category differences influence learning outcomes. Her studies bridge behavioral and neurobiological perspectives in animal behavior research.
