Current Research:
  • Development and application of a theory of distinctive processing in memory (e.g., Hunt, 2003).
  • Error correction in memory using a variety of test environments and the effect of feedback on both propagation of correct responses and on the correction of errors in those test environments.
  • Evaluating theories of implicit memory and priming on their ability to predict priming for very low frequency category instances.
