Lisa K. Son serves as Professor of Psychology at Barnard College, where she has been a faculty member since 2002. Her academic work bridges cognitive psychology with practical applications in learning and memory systems across human and animal subjects.
Education:
- BA, University of Pennsylvania
- MA, Columbia University
- PhD, Columbia University
Research Focus: Professor Son's work centers on metacognitive processes and optimal learning strategies, with significant contributions to understanding human and animal cognition. Her research examines how individuals monitor and control learning through metacognitive judgments, study-time allocation, and strategy selection. She investigates both short-term and long-term memory systems, with particular attention to developmental differences in children's learning approaches and cross-species metacognitive transfer in primates.
Publication Trends: Analysis of her work reveals consistent focus on metacognitive control mechanisms since 2002. Her research trajectory shows expansion from foundational memory studies to contemporary applications including cultural differences in game theory (2022), emotional impacts on problem-solving (2023), and psychological aspects of failure (2020). The Korean-language book Metacognition (2019) represents her cross-cultural scholarship.
Academic Engagement: Professor Son actively contributes to psychological discourse through collaborations (e.g., with Robert Brotherton on metacognitive organization) and public scholarship on topics like activism psychology during AAPI Heritage Month (2021). Her work demonstrates sustained engagement with both theoretical cognitive frameworks and real-world applications.
