I am a first year PhD student in Psychology supervised by Dr. Stefan Kohler and Dr. Ken McRae. I am interested in ideas of Embodied and Grounded Cognition especially as they relate to learning and memory. During my MSc, I studied how information from the body affects understanding of words. In my PhD work, I am investigating the ways in which action shapes memory for object location. I am using mouse tracking in combination with imaging to monitor the dynamic systems that underlie learning and memory. MacRae, S., Duffels, B., Duchesne, A., Siakaluk, P.D., Matheon, H.E. (2022).
