Annual Meeting of the

Eastern Psychological Association

Boston, MA  2008

After a full day of conferencing, students and faculty enjoyed dinner together at Durgin Park.

     
Vicki Jankowski ('08) and Catherine Reich ('08) worked with Dr. Catherine Lemely and Dr. Bob Bornstein (Adelphi University), to examine whether a brief tactile exposure to an item would increase one's liking of that item.


Kate Krissinger ('09) and Corey Brown ('09) presented their sophomore research methods project (supervised by Dr. Price), suggesting that husbands and wives tend to look like each other.
 

        
Emily Wise ('08) presented research she conducted for her Research in Memory & Thinking course with Dr. Price. Her work suggested that, unlike speech, music enters conscious thought even when it isn't attended.

            
Michele Saul ('08) discusses her work with Dr. Price, who supervised the project, and Dr. Roy. The project examined whether particular methods of teaching and testing sign language were more successful than others.

Kevin Hahn ('07) presented research, conducted for his honor's thesis, which found that even trained musicians failed to note a difference in the quality of music stored in .mp3 format relative to the smaller .wav format.
