Michelle M. Ramey, Ph.D.
Principal investigator
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas investigating human memory in general and in aging. My research aims to understand episodic memory functioning and to develop new methods for probing the processes underlying memory, especially using eyetracking.
Much of my work involves investigating memory through the lens of its interactions with other cognitive processes, such as semantic knowledge. Most recently, I received funding from NSF (and NIH) to investigate schema-memory interactions.
I received my Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Davis in August 2021, and B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2016.
