During the last few years, my students and I have focused on some of the following questions: How do people learn to classify objects? How do they learn functions? Can the reluctance of some people to accept psychology as a science be related to the process of categorization? Are handwritten notes more conducive to academic success than typed notes? How do individuals keep track of time?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"color: black\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><b><span style=\"color: black\">Selected Publications<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"xmsonormal\"><span style=\"color: black\">Richardson, &amp; <b>Lacroix, G<\/b>.
