Currently my main research interest revolves around the scholarship of teaching and learning, especially best practices to help psychology majors reach their goals. I have a continued interest in young children’s memory and language development.
I let Dr. Lewis drive the van on field trips!
Oh…I love Baby Groot.
Dr. Mike Russell
Dr. Russell received all of his degrees from the University of Connecticut. He has a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology (concentration: Sensation & Perception), a M.A. in Child & Developmental Psychology, and a B.A. in Psychology.
His research focuses on how we use sound to perceive the world around us and the events occurring near us. Every day, we are frequently exposed to a wide range of objects that produce sound (e.g., cell phones, cars, people). However, we know very little about how we know whether a sound-producing object is to the left or right, above or below us, or near or far. In addition, Dr. Russell is interested in our ability to judge the movement of sound-producing objects (e.g., how well we can tell if someone is walking up or down a flight of stairs, how hard/soft two objects collided).
Dr. Russell is currently recruiting student researchers. Please contact him for details: mirussell@bellevue.edu
