Nathan Young

Nathan is a third year graduate student working with Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. Kuhl. He graduated from Arizona State University with majors in English, Psychology, Neuroscience, and a minor in Philosophy. As an undergraduate, Nathan’s research focused on value-directed memory recognition using behavioral and EEG methods. He is currently interested in how contextual factors such as value, curiosity, and attention contribute to learning and memory in the brain.
