General Information:<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Working in the Memory and Cognition Research Lab offers students the opportunity to conduct experimental research, which can be beneficial for those planning to attend graduate school or pursue research-related careers. Students will gain hands-on experience in psychological research by running their own participant sessions and receiving training in conducting interviews. Additionally, they will have the chance to create research posters for presentation at conferences, carry out various data analyses, and occasionally contribute to manuscript writing. RAs can expect to work approximately 5 to 11 hours a week (including one weekly lab meeting), depending on whether a student volunteers for the lab or registers for course credit.<\/p>\n
