Research examines cognitive control mechanisms, focusing on how humans suppress unwanted memories and thoughts. Laboratory investigations use behavioral measures, eye-tracking, and EEG to study attention modulation during memory retrieval. Secondary work analyzes the Weapon Focus Effect in eyewitness testimony, investigating how threat and novelty influence memory encoding.
No specific grants or awards are detailed. His lab investigates individual differences in memory control that may contribute to vulnerability to persistent intrusive thoughts.
Laboratory resources include eye-tracking and EEG facilities for cognitive neuroscience research. Methodological approaches incorporate computational modeling and quantitative analysis of cognitive processes.
