Biography

Graduate Area: 

  • Psychological Science - Cognitive

Does Dr. Hamrick plan to recruit a doctoral student for the next incoming class?

Research Interests

My research encompasses the domains of psycholinguistics and the psychology of learning and memory. Specifically, I research whether and how general learning and memory mechanisms underpin language learning, representation, and processing. Among these mechanisms, I focus on declarative and procedural memory, implicit learning, and associative/statistical learning. Within language, I have broad expertise, with interests ranging from semantic representation to child language to second language learning to Tourette syndrome and beyond.
