Research interests:
My current research is mainly concerned with how categorization influences perception, judgment and memory. A classic outcome of categorization is the accentuation of perceived between-categories differences and within-categories similarities. Stereotyping illustrates this process (e.g., "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"). In my recent research, I have examined category-based accentuation effects in the perception and memory of simple and complex stimuli, including faces. For instance, my colleagues and I have shown that people (mis)remember faces from different races and gender as more typical of their race and gender category than they really are. Other recent research interests include the study of automatic processes in behaviors and in the processing of affective information.
