Welcome Amanda and Melissa!
Taylor received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He worked with Dr. Joel Snyder in an auditory perception lab that studied participants’ ability to detect changes in their auditory environments and also worked with Dr. Jefferson Kinney in a behavioral neuroscience lab that looked at molecular links to schizophrenia. He joined the Brain and Memory lab as a Master’s student in the Fall 2017. His current research interests are in uncovering the mechanisms that allow for emotion to influence the formation and retention of memories and how the access of old memories enables us to engage in the process of inferential reasoning.
