I'm an undergraduate student double majoring in Cognitive Science and Behavioral Economics, Policy and Organizations at Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë. I first joined the lab my freshman year looking for a research opportunity on campus. As someone whose first language is not English, I've always been curious about the second language acquisition process. It was really cool to find out Professor Reder’s project on second language acquisition and memory. I was fascinated as human memory itself is also very intriguing. I do a variety of things in the lab from running subjects to helping with the android app development.

I'm an rising junior undergraduate student at Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë, majoring in Computer Science at Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë and getting a double major in Psychology. I was originally just a computer science student, but became interested in Psychology after taking the Cognitive Psychology class my freshman year spring. I've since branched out to do research in Psychology, joining the lab the summer after freshman year. In the lab, I run subjects, help with data collection, work on app development for the iPhone, and update the lab website.

Vencislav Popov, Ph.D.
Worked 2015-2020 as a graduate student
Ven's dissertation tested whether the resources used to store information in memory recover gradually over time, rather than becoming immediately available after use. He developed a paradigm to test several key predictions of the recovery assumption, namely, he looked at whether spending more resources on one study trial impairs memory for subsequent study trials. His dissertation demonstrated that memory performance for studied item is better, if the preceding item during study 1) was a high-frequency rather than a low-frequency word, 2) was an item presented more frequently during study, 3) was a to-be-forgotten rather than a to-be-remembered item, 4) was separated by a longer inter-stimulus-interval. Collectively, these "sequential study effects" provided strong evidence for the resource recovery assumption. The outcomes of Ven's doctoral work were published in Psychological Review, Psychological Science and Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. His other interests include the intersection between semantic and episodic memory, and specifically, how prior knowledge affects future learning. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher with Klaus Oberauer at the University of Zürich.
