Psych Foundations students receive travel awards, present at international conference in Germany

Graduate students Kelsey Will and Reese Butterfuss presented their research at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society for Text & Discourse held in Kassel, Germany from July 18 to 20. Both students work in the Reading & Language Lab, led by Dr. Panayiota Kendeou, which focuses on the relationship between language and memory, with an emphasis on understanding and learning during reading. Kelsey’s paper, “Generating Explanations in the Service of Knowledge Revision,” and Reese’s paper, “The Role of Inhibition in Knowledge Revision,” as well as his poster, “A Time-Course Analysis of Affective Processes During Knowledge Revision,” were well received at the meeting. Kelsey and Reese made the trip after winning highly competitive Student Travel Awards from the Society for Text & Discourse.
