Faculty Members

Growing with Brock is made up of six faculty members from the Psychology Department.

Karen Campbell, Ph.D.

ASSOCIATE Professor, Department of Psychology
Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging

Dr. Campbell's research aims to understand how the mind and brain change during the course of normal aging. Specifically, she is interested in how age differences in attentional control, or the ability to limit one’s attention to goal-relevant information and ignore distraction, affects memory for past events.

Angela Evans, Ph.D.

Professor, Department of Psychology

​Dr. Evans' research examines how social and cognitive development across the lifespan influences our social behaviours. For example, how to talk to children to obtain the most honest and accurate reports about events they have experienced and how their developing minds influence their reports.

Caitlin Mahy, Ph.D.

Professor, Department of Psychology
Director of Growing with Brock

Dr. Mahy is interested in the development of memory and future-oriented thinking in children. The lab is interested in how children remember to carry out their future intentions (known as prospective memory), how they imagine and plan for the future (episodic future thinking), and how procrastination develops in early childhood. We are interested in how these future-oriented cognitive abilities change over development and how they are supported by more basic cognition functions like memory and self-control.

Cathy Mondloch, Ph.D.

Professor, Department of Psychology

Dr. Mondloch is interested in how experience across the lifespan influences our ability to perceive identity and emotion in human faces. She is especially interested in how the ability to recognize identity across multiple photographs changes across the lifespan and is impacted by experience with a specific person and the category to which the person belongs. Her work has implications for eyewitness testimony and the security industry.

Elizabeth Shulman, Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Department of Psychology

Dr. Shulman is interested in how decision making changes with age. This research informs policy related to adolescents, as well as efforts to keep young people safe without overly restricting their opportunities to learn and grow.

Larissa Zwar, Ph.D. (Dr. RER. biol. hum.) 

Dr. Zwar’s research focuses on informal (family) caregiving for (older) adults with long-term care needs in different cultural contexts. Specifically, she is interested in the role of stereotypes, attitudes and discrimination (social stigma) connected with different social identities (e.g., identities based on gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation) in this care context and how these relate to caregivers’ and care recipients’ well-being, decision-making and resilience.
