Dr. Colleen M. Kelley, Ph.D.
Stanford University, 1983

Research Interests:Research in human memory, particularly factors that create the subjective experience of remembering, including illusions of memory, aging and memory, and memory effects on judgment. Other research interests include metacognition and eyewitness memory.

Current Research: One line of research is focused on understanding when people are vulnerable to misleading sources of familiarity. We are particularly interested in whether there are age-related changes in this process. A second line of research tests a new theory of the phenomenon of directed forgetting. A third line of research is on the effects of social influence on memory in younger and older adults.

Undergraduate Openings (DIS)
There is currently at least one opening for a DIS student (research assistant).
Requirements:
The ideal candidate will be a Psychology undergraduate that is considering graduate work in the sciences. Reliability and integrity are required.

Research Interests:
My particular interest is in those factors that create and are interpreted as the subjective experience of remembering. This may provide some account for many illusions of memory as well as age-related changes in memory. Another area of interest is in the possible existence of inhibitory mechanisms in memory.

Research Interests:
I am particularly interested in memory, attention, and (human and artificial) intelligence. My current research focuses on meta-cognition, memory illusions, and mechanisms of retrieval inhibition. As well, I am interested in formal cognitive modeling (Neural Net & Production Models) and Human Factors (HCI) research.
