In their new publication in WIREs: Cognitive Science, “CISDA: Changes in Integration for Social Decisions in Aging“, Dr. Lighthall and co-authors from the University of Florida (UF) propose a specification of the Affect‐Integration‐Motivation framework for understanding social decision making across adulthood. Their model outlines how age‐related changes to neurocognition and […]
In their new publication in The Journal of Neuroscience, “Feedback-based learning in aging: Contributions and trajectories of change in striatal and hippocampal systems“, Dr. Lighthall and her co-authors present novel findings indicating that hippocampal circuits supporting learning and memory decline more than striatal circuits in healthy aging. Their results further […]
First-year PhD student, Kylie Fernandez, presented her research at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society annual meeting in NYC. Her poster entitled, “Asymmetry in attention and memory while learning in gain versus loss domains”, presents work in collaboration with Dr. Camelia Kuhnen of the UNC Kenan–Flagler Business School.
Thanks to a grant from the College of Medicine, the AD&D Lab will be collaborating with Dr. Daniel Paulson’s Orlando Later-Life Developmental Research Lab on a project examining the effectiveness of a new caregiver support group intervention. The project aims to reduce the burden associated with dementia caregiving, better understand […]
The AD&D Lab is embarking on a new fMRI study in collaboration with Dr. Natalie Ebner, Director of the Social-Cognitive and Affective Development Lab at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The project will examine how the brain integrates emotional and nonemotional memories about consumer products and how this affects […]
