Dr. Randy Engle, chair of the psychology department at Georgia Tech, will present "Working Memory Capacity and Control of Behavior, Cognition, and Emotion" Monday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. at the Witherspoon Maple Room located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"Dr. Engle is a nationally recognized researcher in the area of executive processes, the mechanisms by which higher order cognitive processes often associated with the frontal lobe control what we are thinking about and what we can do with what we are thinking about," said Dr. Alan Gittis, professor and chair of psychology at Westminster College. "Among his projects, he has developed a theory that accounts for individual differences in intelligence in terms of the dynamics of working memory."
Dr. Engle has been named a fellow of both the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science.
The event, which is sponsored by the Westminster College Psychology Department, is free and open to the public.
