Associat
 e Professor, 
Department of Psychology

Presentation
  Summary
Dr. Wurm will summarize his research on the effects of emotion va
 riables on spoken word recognition and memory performance. He finds that t
 he initial stages of recognizing a spoken word are influenced by the survi
 val-related emotional connotation of the word. He will also discuss new re
 search demonstrating a robust memory advantage following survival-related 
 processing for words in a list. Most of his work has been done with 18-30 
 year old participants from the Department of Psychology Subject Pool. Rece
 nt findings in his lab suggest some interesting possible avenues of resear
 ch with older participants.Dr. Wurm is an Associate Professor in the Depar
 tment of Psychology at Wayne State University. He is also a member of the 
 WSU Linguistics Program and a 2008-09 fellow at the Institute of Gerontolo
 gy. He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the State Universit
 y of New York at Stony Brook.Speaker's Research Interests
