Cognition is thought, and cognitive psychologists
investigate the what, where, when, how, and why
of thinking, and how those aspects pertain to
human and animal behavior. Cognition involves
attention, perception, memory, brain physiology,
reasoning, language, decision making, and many
other areas that cognitive psychologists actively
study. Take a look inside and meet New
Mexico State Universitys thinking experts the
Cognitive Psychology faculty! We invite you to
think about studying human thought and behavior
with our faculty!
Cristin McDonald (left), undergraduate research
assistant, and Gina Egler, graduate research
assistant, remotely monitor a three-person team
from the control room of the TC3 lab (also shown
at right). Audio and video are continuously
recorded during experiments, which last two days,
four hours per day. The Army Research Institute
sponsors this study, which is a simulation of
international peacekeeping.
A team discusses their first of eight simulated
peacekeeping missions that are based in Bosnia.
Their communication is recorded and run through a
speech recognition website developed by Melanie
Martin, PhD. student in Computer Science, and a
Latent Semantic Analysis is subsequently
conducted, a program developed by Dr. Peter
Foltz, one of the principal investigators on the
TC3 project. Dr. Adrienne Lee and Dr. Douglas
Gillan are principal investigators on the project
as well. There are currently ten graduate
students and two undergraduate research
assistants gaining valuable experience on the
project.
