Todd R. Schachtman is a Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri. His research focuses on associative learning, cognitive processes, and neuroscience, particularly examining mechanisms of memory and learning in Alzheimer's disease and behavioral neuroscience.
- Education: B.A. from University of California, Berkeley; M.A. and Ph.D. from SUNY-Binghamton; postdoctoral work at University of York (UK) and University of Rochester Medical Center.
- Research Interests: Differentiating acquisition, retention, and retrieval processes in learning; cue competition during associative and attributional tasks; intrinsic motivation; and translational studies on Alzheimer's disease and obesity-related cognitive dysfunction.
- Scientific Awards: Recognized with an Editor’s Choice designation from the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (2020).
His publications (2011–present) span neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science, with recurring subfields including drug response dynamics, attentional control, and neurodegenerative disease models. Collaborative projects involve Eriksen flanker tasks, stimulus competition, and exercise interventions for cognitive impairment. Students mentored include graduate and undergraduate researchers co-authoring papers on working memory, conditioned inhibition, and molecular signaling.
