Human Memory & Cognition Lab | Psychology Department |College of Arts and Sciences, American University, Washington, DC

We are graduate students (in the BCAN PhD and Masters programs), undergraduate students (doing independent study or honors projects or other research for experience and fun), and occasionally, post-docs and bright high school interns from local high schools, all working with Dr. P (Zehra Peynircioglu).

We are interested in exploring all intriguing phenomena related to memory and cognition. Some of the current projects we are working on involve:

Autobiographical Memory
Metamemory
Music Perception and Cognition
Bilingual Cognition
Revelation Effect
Rehearsal
