Research interests
The organization of stored concepts in long-term memory is being investigated in normal subjects and those with various forms of brain damage. Techniques available from experimental psychology (such as priming and reaction time experiments) are combined with cognitive neuropsychology approaches (analyzing associations and dissociations in retained knowledge), neuroimaging (functional MRI and PET), and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to yield a new picture of the functional organization of human semantic memory. Patients with focal brain damage (forms of aphasia) and diffuse brain damage (Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) provide the focus of this research.
