Katherine R. Churey – Ph.D candidate, M.Sc. in Psychology, B.Sc.H in Biology and Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour
Broadly, my research focuses on the influence of reminding on later memory processes. More specifically, I am looking at how remembering details of reminded events (or not) may modulate our susceptibility to false memories of our experiences. I am also interested in applying these principles to more real-life situations such as exposure to ‘fake news’ and eye witness testimony.

Anna Kazatchkova – Ph.D student, M.Sc. in Psychology, B.Sc.H in Neuroscience and Psychology
My current research focuses on self-regulated study decisions and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, I am investigating how choices pertaining to study time, study strategies, and AI use impacts our memory, as well as metacognition (i.e., beliefs about our learning).
