Ashley S. Bangert

Ashley S. Bangert is Associate Professor of Psychology at UTEP, directing the Cognition and Aging Lab. Her research examines cognitive mechanisms underlying attention, timing, and memory across the lifespan, with emphasis on aging-related changes and neurodegenerative conditions.

Core research investigates:

• Attentional control dynamics in temporal processing
• Cognitive markers for early Alzheimer's detection
• Technology use in aging populations
• Bilingual cognitive processes

Publications demonstrate methodological innovation in measuring cognitive performance through continuous response paradigms and technology-mediated assessment.

Awards include NSF and NIH-funded projects examining cognitive aging and technology adoption among seniors.

Mentoring spans doctoral, master's, and undergraduate research projects in cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
