Academic Focus

Olfactory and Flavor Perception

My research investigates psychological processes in taste, flavor, and olfaction.  Current projects explore the impact of the emotion of disgust on the perceptual processing of odors and flavors, and cross-modal associations between vision, olfaction, and taste.  I also conduct studies on the development of olfaction in children from preschool to 6th grade.
