معرفی
Amy H. Criss is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Syracuse University, specializing in cognitive psychology and memory research. She leads the MemoLab, focusing on computational modeling of human memory processes. Her work integrates behavioral data with advanced theoretical frameworks to refine models of episodic memory, including source recognition, associative retrieval, and interference effects.
Dr. Criss holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science from Indiana University (2004) and a B.A. in Psychology and Neuroscience from Miami University (1997). Her research emphasizes collaboration with global colleagues and students, exploring core assumptions in memory theories through rigorous empirical testing.
Her grants include an NSF IPA Assignment (2024–2025) and the BEA Innovation Award (APA, 2018–2019). She teaches courses like Cognitive Psychology, Research Methodology, and seminars in neuroscience and experimental psychology. Notable contributions include advancing differentiation models (REM) and analyzing memory dynamics across aging populations.
Dr. Criss actively serves on editorial boards (e.g., Journal of Memory & Language, Behavior Research Methods) and academic committees, promoting diversity and methodological rigor in cognitive science. Her interdisciplinary work bridges computational models, behavioral experiments, and theoretical psychology, fostering collaborative innovation in memory research.
