Hausman Memory and Metacognition Lab at a Successful Psychonomics

by Ryan

Several members of the Hausman Memory and Metacognition Lab recently attended, and presented at, the 64th Annual Psychonomics Society Conference. Our own Dr. Hannah Hausman gave a talk at the International Association of Metacognition pre-meeting on community college math teachers’ beliefs about learning. Several lab members also presented posters of their individual research, including our graduate students, Melanie Pietro and Jexy An Nepangue, our current undergraduate Lab Manager, Ryan Haraden, our current undergraduate Data Manager, Jacky Gonzalez, as well as former undergraduate Lab Manager Camila Sánchez, and former undergraduate research assistant Siobhan Moher.

Camila Sánchez, the Hausman Memory and Metacognition Lab’s first lab manager, is now a college graduate! Now with a B.S. in Cognitive Science, achieving Summa Cum Laude and receiving highest honors in her major, Camila is excited to be applying to Clinical Psychology PhD and PsyD programs. We are so proud of her, and so honored to have had her as our lab manager! We wish her the best of luck moving forward.

We are also happy to announce our new lab manager: Ryan Haraden! They have been a research assistant in the Hausman Lab since Fall 2022, researching testing effects and helping to write for publications. Ryan is excited to be able to take over the responsibilities of Lab Manager for the 2023-24 academic year and knows they have big shoes to fill (Camila made them write that). Ryan will continue their work as a research assistant and is looking forward to a great year! 

 

New data manager!

by Camila

Mariah Ryan is now a college graduate and is moving out into the world! We are so proud of her and so grateful of all the work she has done for the Hausman Lab! As the first data manager, Mariah began creating R scripts for the lab to use for cleaning the raw data from our experiments so that we could easily explore and analyze the data.

We would love to welcome our new data manager: Jacky Gonzales! Jacky will be taking over Mariah’s responsibilities for the remainder of the 2022-23 school year along with the 2023-24 school year. Jacky is also a Research Assistant in the Hausman Lab and will continue to ensure that we have efficient data cleaning, analysis work flow and reproductible scripts that promote open science.
