Michael Chan-Reynolds is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Trent University. He holds a B.Sc. from Trent University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on cognitive psychology, particularly how the mind/brain performs complex tasks such as reading, mathematics, visual search, change detection, and executive control. He employs three approaches: laboratory tasks, qualitative analyses of everyday behaviors, and computational modeling.
Dr. Chan-Reynolds’ education includes a foundational B.Sc. at Trent University, followed by advanced degrees at the University of Waterloo. His work spans topics like the Stroop effect’s posture influence, digital mathematics’ impact on working memory, and the embodied nature of facial attractiveness perception. His research also explores semantic activation during reading and numerical cognition automaticity.
His publications address diverse cognitive phenomena, emphasizing interdisciplinary methods. While no specific awards are noted, his contributions to cognitive psychology include studies on collaborative visual search and the gap between laboratory and real-world change detection. Advising and grant details are not explicitly provided in available texts, but his lab actively investigates executive control mechanisms and applied cognitive tasks.
