The graduate training program in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has research emphases on attention, categorization, cognitive neuroscience, computational modeling, memory, psycholinguistics, reading, and visual cognition. New graduate students initially affiliate with one of these areas, but may shift from one to another as their interests develop. Many graduate students work in more than one area.
