    PSY SUPR Projects

    Can Daydreaming Improve Learning?

    Mentor: Prof. James Antony

    Project Description:

    This project aims to understand the factors leading to long-term memory endurance. Everyday learning events contain various contextual factors, which contribute to memories for the who-what-when-where-why of specific events. Each factor can trigger recall of events when cued later; however, this cue-dependence also means memory accessibility (i.e., whether memories can be retrieved) may be limited to instances when those factors are present or can be mentally reinstated. For learning to be useful across the lifetime, memories must generalize beyond the learned context or become “decontextualized.” In this project, we will ask whether contextual variability in an individual’s mental context – as manipulated via daydreaming about vacations – improves memory. Ultimately, these findings could help educational policy, such that, rather than teachers recommending that students keep the context constant between learning and tests, they could instead suggest that students mentally mix it up.

    Attitudes about Teamwork Across Cultures

    Mentor: Prof. Lucy Bencharit

    Project Description:

    Is there an "I" in team? This research study examines cultural group differences in how people work on teams. We use a mixed-methods approach to uncover the values (e.g., independence or interdependence) and social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender) that impact teamwork behaviors and attitudes.

    Memory Strategies: Mixing the Old with the New to Prevent Interference

    Mentor: Prof. Kelly Bennion

    Project Description:

    Nearly a century of educational research has shown that one of the best ways to introduce new material is to first tap into the prior knowledge of the student. “Start with what they know” is a phrase used again and again in teaching certificate programs and educational theory. That memory is better for new material that is related versus unrelated to prior knowledge is a classic and robust finding in cognitive psychology and in artificial intelligence (AI) models of learning, which researchers often reciprocally use to make predictions about how humans learn. However, both in humans and AI, there can be unintended consequences of learning, whereby new learning causes one to instead forget prior knowledge. One solution to this problem from AI models is to weave in old information that is likely to otherwise be forgotten during new learning – and here we will test whether this solution also alleviates forgetting in humans.

You also have to meet income requirements but most students easily qualify. (First-year students are on a mealplan and so will not qualify until their second year).

    It's free to apply and you get a pre-loaded card to use at local stores, or buy groceries online at Amazon or Walmart.  It won’t affect your financial aid and you don’t need your parent's tax return information to apply.  YOU can apply online with or without an appointment.

    MENTORING, CONFERENCE AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

    CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY’S M.A. PROGRAM IN “APPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: USER EXPERIENCE”

The UX program at Claremont is a 2-year program that focuses on three critical domains: cognitive psychology, user experience, and research methods & statistics. Undergraduate students often ask about career opportunities doing applied research. UX is one of them.

    See link below for more information about our program. Because this is a relatively new program, we will be accepting late applications; however, applying sooner is preferable to be eligible for financial aid. Interested students should contact Kathy Pezdek (Kathy.Pezdek@cgu.edu).
