I am seeking Ph.D. students to collaborate on research investigating
the development of humans’ concepts of number and objects across
different senses. Research in our Multisensory Cognition Lab
currently addresses such questions as:

1) Do infants and young children represent abstract concepts such as
number?
2) Do number and object representations in children and adults extend
across different senses?
3) Can we enhance nonverbal attention, learning, and memory in domains
such as numerical cognition by providing redundant information through
multiple senses?

In addition, I anticipate involving students in two newer lines of
research that investigate effects of emotion on numerical processing
and ask about representation of quantity related to food sources in
coyotes (in collaboration with USU’s Predator Ecology Research Center)
vs. domestic dogs.

Students would be enrolled in the Experimental and Applied
Psychological Science program through the Department of Psychology at
Utah State University, located in a spectacular mountain setting.
Students collaborating on these projects are typically supported by
research and teaching assistantships. Our lab offers ample
opportunities for ownership of projects, close collaboration with the
P.I., conference presentations, and journal article authorship.
Openings in my lab are available for Fall 2010.

If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible by e-mail
at kerry.jordan [ à ] usu.edu. Information about my lab at Utah State
University is available athttp://www.usu.edu/psychology/cognition/home.html

I would love to hear about the following when you contact me:

* Your relevant research experiences
* Your technical knowledge (experience with programming)
* Your CV
* The names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of 3 academic
references
