Philip Marshall

Philip Marshall is a Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Texas Tech University, focusing on experimental cognitive psychology. He earned his B.A. (1967), M.A. (1970), and Ph.D. (1972) from the University of Rhode Island and University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, respectively.

His research spans two primary areas:

• Human-Animal Interaction: Examining bonding mechanisms with pets, cognitive processing of pet-related information, and the impact of perceived dog aggression on human social behavior.
• Psychology of Art: Investigating cognitive processes in art creation and appreciation.

Previously, Marshall published extensively on human motor performance, learning, and memory. His recent work focuses on lexical decision tasks, free recall studies, and aggression perception in dog breeds.

Selected publications include studies on pet-related memory encoding (2015), love styles in animal relationships (2018), aggression perception biases (2022), and presentations at major conferences like the Psychonomic Society and International Symposium on Animal-Assisted Interventions. His work often employs cognitive psychology methodologies to analyze human-animal dynamics and artistic cognition.
