Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Michelle M. Ramey investigates cognitive processes, with a particular focus on how memory, attention, and stress influence human perception and behavior. Her research has explored the impact of mild acute stress on selective attention tasks, examining its effects on response speed, accuracy, and interference control. Ramey's work also delves into the interplay between conscious and unconscious memory, and how these different forms of memory affect attention and visual search patterns. She studies how episodic memory processes and schema knowledge contribute to spatial memory decisions and influence memory recall in older adults. Her research has been supported by grants and has resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications. Ramey has collaborated with Darya L. Zabelina on several projects, contributing to a shared publication record.
