Dr Devin G. Ray is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, located in the William Guild building, office S05. His research centres on person perception and person memory, with particular attention to face recognition, impression formation, prejudice, and group processes. More recently, his work has explored the social consequences of remembering and forgetting during interpersonal interaction. Research Interests Person perception and memory Face recognition and categorization Impression formation and prejudice Group processes and intergroup relations Social consequences of memory and forgetting Across over 20 peer-reviewed publications spanning 2007–2025, Dr Ray has investigated how memory functions not only as a cognitive process but also as a social signal.
