Ana Lapa

Ana Lapa is interested in exploring the relationship between retrieval and learning, approaching it from cognitive psychology and social cognition perspectives. Specifically, Ana’s research explores retrieval’s consequences on our ability to learn new information and correct memory errors. She has also explored how collaborative recall affects retention. Recently, her research has been focusing on understanding how different processing goals, such as memory and impression formation, might differently affect retrieval’s consequences to retention and memory updating.
