Lise Abrams serves as the Peter W. Stanley Professor of Linguistics and Cognitive Science and Chair of the Linguistics and Cognitive Science Department at Pomona College, where she has held faculty positions since 2018 after 20 years at the University of Florida. Her interdisciplinary work bridges psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science with a focus on lifespan language processing. Education: Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles M.A., University of California, Los Angeles B.A., Pomona College (Psychology & Mathematics) Abrams investigates language-memory interactions across adulthood, specializing in word retrieval mechanisms, tip-of-the-tongue phenomena, and emotional influences on speech production. Her research examines how cognitive aging, bilingualism, and non-cognitive factors like anxiety affect communication, with particular attention to real-world challenges like proper name recall and taboo word interference. This work integrates experimental psychology with linguistic theory to explain everyday communication breakdowns. Her recent publications (2023-2025) reveal evolving trends toward emotional language processing in aging populations, examining laughter's anxiety-reducing effects, taboo word interactions, and cross-linguistic tip-of-the-tongue resolution. Abrams consistently explores how arousal and valence modulate age-related differences in speech production, connecting laboratory findings to practical communication challenges in older adults. Scientific Recognition: Fellow of Association for Psychological Science (2019) Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award (2019) Four society fellowships (APA, Gerontological Society, Psychonomic Society) Sigma Xi Young Investigator Award (2007) National mentorship awards from APA and Women in Cognitive Science Abrams has secured significant funding including National Institute on Aging grants for aging-language research and mentored numerous students through University of Florida's Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars. Her leadership extends to coordinating Pomona's Cognitive Science Section and collaborating with international consortia like Cam-CAN. As Principal Investigator of the Pomona College Cognitive Aging Lab, she directs research on speech production mechanisms using behavioral paradigms including picture-word interference and tip-of-the-tongue induction. Her team actively investigates cross-linguistic differences through Mandarin Chinese studies and examines emotional language processing in aging populations.

Dr. Katherine White serves as Professor of Psychology and Director of the Cognition and Aging Lab at Rhodes College. Her research program investigates cognitive mechanisms underlying language production across the lifespan, with particular focus on how linguistic, attentional, and emotional factors influence word retrieval in younger and older adults. She holds the Winton M. Blount Professorship in Social Sciences. Her educational background includes: Ph.D. in Cognitive and Sensory Processes from the University of Florida M.S. in Psychology from the University of Florida B.A. in Psychology from Rhodes College White's research spans cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and aging science. She examines tip-of-the-tongue phenomena, written language production errors, and emotional influences on speech fluency through controlled experiments and naturalistic communication settings. Her work reveals how attentional control modulates emotional interference during speech, how aging affects orthographic encoding, and how semantic factors influence word retrieval failures. Current projects explore multimodal communication through gesture-speech interactions in collaboration with Pomona College. Analysis of her publication record shows consistent evolution from foundational studies on tip-of-the-tongue states and written errors toward increasingly complex investigations of emotional and multimodal aspects of language production. Recent work integrates aging, emotion, and naturalistic communication contexts, reflecting theoretical expansion from isolated laboratory paradigms to ecologically valid models of real-world language use. White actively mentors undergraduate researchers through her Cognition and Aging Lab. Lab alumni regularly present at national conferences including the Psychonomic Society and Cognitive Aging Conference. Many graduates pursue advanced degrees in psychology (clinical, neuropsychology, geropsychology) or health professions (MD, PharmD, Speech Pathology). Her training program emphasizes hands-on research experience in experimental design, data collection, and scientific communication. The Cognition and Aging Lab operates as an interdisciplinary research hub investigating language-cognition interactions across adulthood. Current projects include multimodal communication studies examining gesture's role in speech production and investigations of emotional content's impact on narrative fluency in aging populations. The lab maintains active collaborations with cognitive science programs at other institutions while serving as a training ground for future scientists.
