Colleen Seifert

My research in cognitive science takes a broad perspective on understanding human and artificial minds. How does content knowledge organization in memory (what we think) influence mental processes (how we think) to change outcomes in learning, problem solving, and creativity? Crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries, I offer novel contributions towards creating AI Experiences (AIX) centering the ...

Amie Gordon

My research focuses on understanding the social cognitive, affective, and biological factors that shape our closest relationships. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that help romantic couples and families maintain high quality relationships. My work draws upon a variety of methods, including experimental, observational, naturalistic (e.g., daily experience), and physiological, to capture people at ...

Allison Earl

My primary research interests are understanding the causes and consequences of biased selection and attention to persuasive information, particularly in the context of health promotion. Simply stated, I am interested in what we pay attention to and why, and how this attention (or inattention) influences attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, such as persuasion and healthy behavior. ...
