Since graduating from UNH in 1996, I have had the privilege of working as Dr. Elizabeth Stine-Morrow's chief research technician at the Cognitive Aging Laboratory. I greatly enjoy the many facets of the research process, and I have loved the more personal side of meeting and talking with the people who so graciously volunteer their time for our studies. When I'm not at the lab, I volunteer as an instructor of Taoist T'ai Chi, and with my husband, Larry, spend countless hours each week chauffeuring our two teenage sons.

I joined the Cognitive Aging Lab to assist in data analysis and interpretation of results from a recent experiment. The study, conducted by Liz Stine-Morrow, Olivia Pullara, and Barbara Herman, examined the reliability of reading strategies in older and younger adults. I am a fourth year graduate student in Psychology. My background includes ten years developing services for adults with disabilities, as well as Master’s degrees in both English and Psychology. I specialize in Behavior Analysis, and am conducting my own research program, which has focused on explaining choice in social situations.

I am a second-year graduate student in the Psychology program at UNH working on my Master's thesis in Cognitive Aging with advisors Dr. Liz Stine-Morrow and Dr. Dan Morrow. I am a graduate of Towson State University, and I am currently investigating older and younger adults' processing of procedural assembly task instructions. I have been working in the Cognitive Aging Lab since the spring 1998 semester and am interested in age differences in working memory capacity as well as strategies used to combat age-related declines in cognitive abilities. My non-professional interests include travel and photography.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ACTIVE IN THE LAB Suzanne Kider Major: Psychology I have been working as a lab assistant in the cognitive aging lab since the summer of 1998. Currently, I am working with Olivia Pullara to help her gather data for her Master's Thesis. I am graduating this May and plan to pursue graduate studies in the fields of Law and Psychology. This semester I am working on my undergraduate honors thesis on crime and recidivism. When I am not working in the lab I am usually performing a balancing act between classes and schoolwork.
