Research Interests: Rubin

My primary research interest is in human memory. More specifically, I am interested in how the process of reconstructing a past event affects the content and accuracy of the memory, as well as one's phenomenological experience during retrieval. I study these issues by examining the use of visual perspective during autobiographical memory retrieval. In addition, I am interested in the areas of visual imagery and spatial representation in relation to memory.
