Research Summary:
Successful regulation of emotions is critical for personal and professional success, and many forms of psychopathology are characterized by breakdowns in emotional control. My primary research interest is understanding the psychological and neural bases of emotion regulation. With Dr. Kevin LaBar, I have been investigating emotion regulation's effects on behavior, eyeblink startle responses, and event-related potentials (ERPs). Additionally, I am interested in the effects of emotion on implicit and explicit memory.
