The "Cognition and Integrated Action" (CIA) laboratory is housed on the 4th floor of the Psychology Building. Graduate students in the lab work with me to develop empirical research that is quite diverse, but centers around capturing dynamics of cognition within and between people: We use fine-grained temporal signatures, such as real-time action or time-series analyses of language behavior, to explore various domains of cognition, from attention to conversation. See our CogSci Aug. 2009 submissions to read about some developing research in the lab.
Graduate students working in the lab:
- Nick Duran (primary lab: CSEP)
- Dynamical systems approaches to statistical learning, language, and conversation.
- Jennifer Roche
- Alignment of emotion and pragmatics during interaction.
- Kristy Snyder-Tapp
- Action dynamics as a means of exploring attentional competition.
- Brent Fonville (1st year)
- The effects of self-action perception on learning and learning confidence
- Phillip Hart
- Marketing PhD student, collaborating with our group on alignment
