Research
Dr. Malmberg's research investigates the processes and representations involved in human memory. It attempts to strike a balance between empirical investigations and mathematical and computational modeling. Currently, his lab is pursuing several interrelated projects that investigate the effects of aging on memory, context-dependent memory, encoding and retrieval processes, prior-frequency effects, and models of episodic memory and decision making. Dr. Malmberg received his PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Maryland in 2000. From 2000-2003 he was an NIH NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University where he studied Mathematical Psychology, and in 2004, he received the American Psychological Association's Division 3 New Investigator Award (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition).
