Memory & Decision-Making - Ian Dobbins
Our research involves explicit and implicit memory with a particular focus on explicit recognition judgments; that is, the decision that someone or something was an element of an earlier personal experience. The nature and number of processes involved in recognition memory are currently under debate. Using such methods as 1) statistical modeling of behavioral data, 2) examination of recognition in patients with focal brain damage, 3) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of healthy participants during various recognition tasks, and 4) measurement of pupil diameter, we are beginning understand the complex processes which allow us to situate current experiences into our own unique personal pasts.
