Elizabeth Marsh, Assistant Professor
Research Summary:
My research revolves around such basic memory processes as how a memory is attributed to a source, the effects of rehearsal and retrieval practice, and how generated ideas and thoughts are later remembered. When possible, I search for ways to link my interests to natural situations such as engaging in conversations, testifying in court, and taking a final exam. I have several lines of research that reflect this combination of basic and applied perspectives. They include autobiographical memory, especially the effects of retellings on memory; memory illusions; the characteristics of internally-generated memories; and the acquisition and source of general world knowledge. While I primarily study young adults, I have recently become interested in extending my work to older adults. Representative Publications:
