Alison R. Preston, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
Dr. A. Wilson Nolle and Sir Raghunath P. Mahendroo Professor Departments of Neuroscience and Psychology The University of Texas at Austin.
My research examines the neurocognitive development of memory representation. I am particularly interested in how representational capacities influence knowledge formation and extension in children, adolescents, and adults.
I’m interested in understanding how statistical knowledge is acquired and organized in early development and how memory mechanism shape early learned representation of concepts.
I am interested in understanding learning and memory through electrophysiology. Intracranial EEG offers an exciting and unique opportunity to study single neuron activity and the human brain under finer temporal resolutions.
I am interested in studying the interaction between episodic and semantic memory using naturalistic paradigms.
I am interested in how memory for time develops across childhood and how we use temporal features of our experiences to structure and organize our memories.
I'm interested in understanding learning and memory mechanisms within developing populations. Specifically, I'm drawn to investigating how this knowledge can be harnessed to inform the enhancement of educational policies, particularly for neurodiverse students.
