Dr. Corey White, assistant professor of psychology, received a $566,000 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation.
Dr. White’s project, “Validating and Applying a New Class of Drift-diffusion Models for Investigating Individual Differences in Executive Control,” will develop and test new mathematical models of executive function (thoughts, impulses, etc.) to provide new analytical tools for investigating individual differences in cognitive function.
The five-year grant will fund four $3,200 scholarships for undergraduate students each year and also provide funding for travel to professional conferences to report on their research.
