Research
in the Jacoby lab focuses on the distinction between consciously-controlled
and automatic processes. The distinction is useful for better
understanding age-related differences in memory performance, and for
improved diagnosis and treatment of memory deficits. Other research
extends the conscious/automatic distinction to issues in the domain of
social psychology and seeks to identify brain-based differences for the
types of processes. Interest in subjective experience has led to
investigations of memory illusions (why memory can make a room seem less
noisy).
