Teresa Garcia-Marques

Teresa Garcia-Marques’s research is in the field of social cognition with a particular focus on how feelings drive affective processes and influence the activation, as well as monitoring, of cognitive processes such as thinking, reasoning, and evaluation. In this regard, she examines familiarity and fluency effects on judgments and processing. Additionally, she examines how social presence shapes monitoring processes using specific cognitive tasks (e.g., Stroop, memory; judgments of truth; temporal judgments, etc.). Her work also covers fields such as person perception and persuasion.
