Arlo Clark-Foos, Ph.D.

Dr. Clark-Foos graduated with his Ph.D. in Cognitive/Experimental Psychology from the University of Georgia in 2009. He is actively immersed in research that can be construed broadly as studying the mental representations and cognitive processes that underlie many forms of human learning and memory. Under that umbrella, he has at least four more specific programs of research. These include prospective memory, the residual effects of valence on both attention and memory, source monitoring, and theoretical issues in basic memory phenomena such as metacognition, recognition, and free recall.
