Congratulations to Rosa Torres on receiving a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Postgraduate Scholarship (Doctoral), to fund her research for the next three years. Rosa is using EEG to examine age differences in the neural correlates of attention and memory. She is co-supervised by Dr. Stephen Emrich (Psychology).

Sarah Henderson (above right) and Emily Davis attended the 64th Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society in San Francisco in November. Sarah presented her research on aging and mind-wandering, showing that reaction time variability can be used to determine if people are "in the zone" or "out of it" and this predicts neural activity (see the poster here). Emily presented her research showing that individual differences in attentional control related to individual differences in hyper-binding, with those showing worse control forming more target-distractor associations (see the poster here).

Goodbye & good luck!

We said goodbye to a few lab mates at the end of this summer who have moved on to bigger and better things. Selma Lugtmeijer has started a new postdoc at the University of Birmingham in the UK, working with Dr. Matthew Apps. Tiago Guardia is now a postdoc in Dr. Kimberly Cote's sleep lab at Brock University. And Dawn Ryan is now an Assistant Professor at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada.

​We wish you all the best of luck on your new adventures!

Congratulations, Dr. Ryan!

summer outings

6/26/2023

 
In addition to some great science, the Campbell lab has been busy this summer with some fun social events. In May, we raised $2,928 for the Alzheimer's Society of Niagara by completing their annual fundraising walk. Every Monday night, you can find a bunch of us playing softball with Niagara Rec Sports (so far, it seems like none of us should quit our day jobs). And in June, we had our annual potluck BBQ - Beechwood donuts & brownies for all!

Congratulations to Emily Davis who recently received not one, but two awards! First, an Ontario Graduate Scholarship to help fund the final year of her PhD. Second, the Wendy Murphy Memorial Award from the Department of Psychology at Brock, a special honour awarded annually to a student in the department who shows consistent academic excellence and collegiality. If you know Emily, you know that she typifies this latter award. Thanks Emily for all you do!

Congratulations to Hannah & Kwasi!

Congratulations to two of our honours thesis students, Hannah Thomas and Kwasi Duah, for being awarded Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Undergraduate Student Research Awards for this summer. Hannah will work in the Campbell lab looking at the effects of stereotype threat on memory in older adults, while Kwasi will work in Dr. Caitlin Mahy's lab looking at future thinking in children. Watch this space - these two are going places!

Luke is headed to Graduate School!
