Richard Frederick Thompson was an American behavioral neuroscientist. He was the William M. Keck Professor of Psychology and Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California,with a parallel appointment as professor of neurology. Thompson was known for his groundbreaking work on learning and memory and his work on the cerebellum was seminal in showing its implication in classical conditioning. During his career,he served as editor-in-chief of the scientific journals Physiological Psychology,Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology,and Behavioral Neuroscience.
Dr. Sharon Thompson-Schill is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania. She is an expert on the biological basis of human cognitive systems,including language,memory,perception,and cognitive control,and the relationships between these systems. As of 2019,she has produced more than 150 scientific publications,which collectively have been cited over 13,700 times.
Elizabeth Kensinger is Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. She is known for her research on emotion and memory over the human lifespan. She is the author of the book Emotional Memory Across the Adult Lifespan, which describes the selectivity of memory,i.e.,how events infused with personal significance and emotion are much more memorable than nonemotional events. This book provides an overview of research on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying the formation and retrieval of emotional memories. Kensinger is co-author of a second book How Does Emotion Affect Attention and Memory? Attentional Capture,Tunnel Memory,and the Implications for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder with Katherine Mickley Steinmetz,which highlights the roles of emotion in determining what people pay attention to and later remember.
Kristen A. Lindquist is a psychologist and affective neuroscientist whose research focuses on language,emotions,and culture. Lindquist is known for her work on emotion words,suggesting that when speakers of different languages talk about common emotions like love,they may not mean the same thing. Her findings run counter to the view that there are universal emotions that are experienced the same across cultures. Lindquist is Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of Carolina Affective Science Lab at the University of North Carolina,Chapel Hill.
Erica Glasper is an American behavioral neuroscientist. Her laboratory observed the first alterations in hippocampal dendritic morphology and behavioral function induced by social bonding and fatherhood in California mice.
Caroline Palmer is the Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience of Performance and Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University in Montreal,Canada. She is also an Associate Faculty Member in the Schulich School of Music at McGill. Her research in cognitive science addresses the behavioural and neural foundations that make it possible for people to produce auditory sequences such as playing a musical instrument or speaking. Palmer has developed and empirically tested computational models of how people perceive and produce auditory sequences,and how they coordinate their actions with others.
