The graduate training program in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has research emphases on attention, categorization, cognitive neuroscience, computational modeling, memory, psycholinguistics, reading, sleep, and visual cognition. New graduate students initially affiliate with one of these areas, but may shift from one to another as their interests develop. Many graduate students work in more than one area.
Here are some of the laboratories within the cognitive training program.
- Eyetracking Lab, directed by Adrian Staub
- Cognition and Action Lab (COGNAC), directed by Rebecca Spencer
- NeuroCognition and Perception Lab (NCaP), directed by Lisa Sanders
- Perception and Cognition Lab (PACLab), directed by Andrew Cohen
- Visual Cognition and Attention Lab (VCALab), directed by Kyle Cave
- Memory Lab, directed by Caren Rotello
- EEG Lab, directed by Lisa Sanders and Charles Clifton
- Language, Intersensory Perception, and Speech Lab (LIPS), directed by Alexandra Jesse
