Implicit Cognition, Unconscious Processes

Biography

I am a social psychologist interested in how the mind works, with a focus on unconscious processes. My research concerns the measurement of implicit attitudes and the nature of (primarily unconscious) cognition. I teach courses on consciousness (and unconsciousness), social psychology, social cognition, and graduate statistics. In my spare time I like to ride my bike, cheer for the Phillies, and travel.
