Our research on threat learning investigates how neutral stimuli acquire an aversive value via pairing with an aversive event. Learning about value through association or feedback is captured in quantitative reinforcement learning models. However, most current research on reinforcement learning examines learning through positive (appetitive or rewa...
Another research agenda in our laboratory is to understand how emotion interacts with episodic memory. Our studies in this domain have explored both how emotion enhances some aspects of memory accuracy, but not others, and how emotion influences the subjective sense of vividness and confidence in memory accuracy. To do this, we have explored the ro...
