We're joined this week by Lise Abrams, Peter W. Stanley professor of Linguistics and Cognitive Science and coordinator of Cognitive Science here at Pomona College. Abrams, class of 1991, tells us about her experiences as a student at Pomona and how the college has changed through the years. As a professor, Abrams's research program investigates language and memory processes in younger and older adults, specifically (a) the processes involved in comprehending and producing words, and (b) linguistic, cognitive and non-cognitive factors that influence these processes. She is interested in the causes underlying real-world retrieval problems, including tip-of-the-tongue states, proper name recall, interference from taboo words, and spelling errors.
