ammo1 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks! I wasn't able to make the weekend, but what I've heard from various people has all been positive. We're meant to keep an open mind about advisors when we go in but I'll most likely be working in the Bjork lab (learning and memory). Congrats on Yale - it sounds like a fantastic program! Random, but ... my master's thesis is based off of Kornell & Bjork's 2008 article (enemy of induction). Congrats on getting in! Bjork is one of the Kings in the spacing literature. By the way, did you graduate from Villanova? [Mike???] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liszt85 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Headed to the Ohio State University. Cognitive Area!

liszt85 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Congrats on the decision! Thanks! I'm a litle apprehensive about the coursework. I have zero background in psychology (other than an introductory course during my undergrad). I hope they all start at basic enough levels. I'm a quick learner though, hope it turns out well. http://cog.psy.ohio-state.edu/documents ... ochure.pdf I was recruited mainly because of my interest and experience with certain concepts in physics (nonlinear dynamics, chaos, fractals, etc) because my prospective adviser uses a lot of that in his work (on memory, attention, language performance, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johann Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I will go to Ohio U (decision making and quantitative psychology) I was put on the waiting list of another school for almost one month and then got rejected but I am still happy I can pursue further research in the field I am interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
