Mark Huff

Mark Huff is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Mississippi. He directs the Memory, Attentional Control, and Aging Lab, focusing on attention, memory, and their relationship to correct and false memory errors across younger adults, healthy older adults, and individuals with Alzheimer's disease. His research spans experimental and applied contexts.

• BS in Psychology (2008)
• MS in Psychological Science (2010)
• PhD in Cognitive Psychology (2013)
• NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in Adult Development and Aging (2016)

His research explores cognitive processes in memory, attention, and aging, with recent projects examining Alzheimer's disease and metacognitive judgments (e.g., judgments of learning). His work also addresses false memory in the DRM paradigm, the impact of perceptual fluency on memory, and protective effects of testing against misinformation. Software tools like the lrd package for lexical data analysis complement his empirical studies.

Scientific contributions include awards for NIH-funded research during his postdoctoral training. His publications emphasize cognitive psychology, memory accuracy, and aging, with a focus on metacognition, associative memory, and applied contexts like disease-related memorability.
