About the Lab:

The QAN lab has an array of research projects that explore elements of Emotion, Perception, Cognition, Executive Functioning, and Memory employing behavioral and neurophysiological methods.

• We examine the adaptive and maladpative ways in which emotions prioritize perception, cognition, and memory in achieving goal-driven behaviors.

• We examine how discrete emotions influence the splitting of attention and attentional flexibility.

• We examine the emotional and cognitive consequences of emotion regulation within dyadic pairs.

• We examine how discrete emotions influence specific executive functions, particularly whether emotion influences the structure and nature of executive functioning.

• We examine how emotion influences semantic priming in both priming studies and false memory studies.
