Opportunities for undergraduates Every semester, there are opportunities for a small number of undergraduates to gain experience in research by helping with studies being conducted in the Adult Cognition Lab. These opportunities are available to psychology majors with strong academic credentials who are interested in learning about research in cognitive aging and who are planning to pursue graduate study in cognitive psychology or experimental psychology. Undergraduate research assistants work closely with Dr. Hoyer and a graduate student on one or more of the ongoing studies. An undergraduate research assistant is expected to work about 9 hours per week on research activities that are pre-arranged and described in an independent study contract (PSY 490). Undergraduate research assistants attend weekly lab meetings, and have the opportunity to learn through experience about many aspects of research in cognitive psychology and cognitive aging. If you are interested in working in the lab, please contact Dr. Hoyer. For further information, please visit:
Opportunities for graduate training The graduate students and faculty who work in the Adult Cognition Lab are affiliated with the Graduate Training Program in Experimental Psychology. One of the aims of this program is to prepare students for academic and research careers in the experimental psychology of aging. If you think you might be interested in graduate study in experimental psychology and in the kinds of projects being conducted in the Adult Cognition Lab, please contact Dr. Hoyer.
