Kevin Paul Madore
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
BioI’m really interested in human memory, particularly what we call retrieval. My research addresses the following questions using a combination of behavioral, eyetracking (pupillometry), and neural (EEG, fMRI, TMS) methods.
What are the mechanisms of memory retrieval?
What functions does retrieval serve?
How do fluctuations in attention and goal states modulate retrieval?
How does aging affect mechanisms, functions, and modulations of retrieval?

I was on the Cognition, Brain, and Behavior track, and advised by Dr. Daniel Schacter. As a graduate student, I received extramural funding from the Beinecke Scholarship and Sackler Psychobiology Program. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and History from Middlebury College in May 2011.
