Robert R. Hampton, Ph.D. POSITION ADDRESS Professor, Emory University Department of Psychology Emory University and Associate Research Professor, Department of Psychology Yerkes National Primate Research Center 36 Eagle Row Atlanta GA 30322 PERSONAL DATA Phone: 404-727-5853 US Citizen Fax: 404-727-0372 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.psychology.emory.edu/lcpc RESEARCH My long-term research goal is to better understand human and nonhuman information processing through comparative studies of brain and cognition. I use a combination of semi-natural and conventional laboratory tests, combined with neurobiological approaches, to assess cognition. I have studied apes, monkeys, wild birds, rats, bats, mice, children, and adult humans. These investigations were conducted in the laboratory, using operant and open-field paradigms to measure cognitive function, and in the field with wild populations. I have used lesion studies, volumetric comparisons, pharmacological interventions, and comparative methods to assess brain function.
