After receiving my Ph.D. degree in 1974, I joined the psychology department faculty of the University of Southern California, where I remained until 2007. While at USC, I also served as psychology department chair from 1992 – 1997 and served as Vice Provost for Academic Programs and Dean of the Graduate School from 1997 – 2005. I moved to LMU in the summer of 2007 to become Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies and Professor of Psychology. My primary research interests include human cognition and information processing; processing asymmetries of the human cerebral hemispheres; individual differences in cognitive processing and functional cerebral organization; interaction of the two hemispheres in the normal brain; mechanisms of attention; age-related changes in cognitive processing; hemispheric asymmetry in clinical populations, including Alzheimer's patients and schizophrenics. I am currently Action Editor for the journal Brain and Cognition and serve on the editorial boards of several other journals.
