Teaching
As part of my PhD training, I taught several undergraduate psychology classes as the instructor of record, both face-to-face and online (through NMSU Global Campus).
Development Psychology (PSYC 212)
Psych and the Brain (PSYC 375)
Memory (PSYC 383), which I also developed as online class for NMSU Global.
Discovery Scholar Program (DSP) at NMSU
The Discovery Scholar Program is aimed at undergraduate students looking to expand their research experience by working with a faculty mentor on their very own project. For the academic year 2024-2025, I am currently mentoring one undergraduate student in psychology.
Mayte Alonso is currently investigating pupil size differences between active and passive sustained attention.
Undergraduate Research Experience (PSYC 400, NMSU)
Each semester, my lab welcomes between 5 and 10 undergraduate students as research assistants (RA). Each RA is provided with comprehensive training in experimental methods and research ethics, encompassing both behavioral and eye-tracking/pupillometry studies. Beyond research, I support these students in achieving their career-oriented objectives, including aiding in graduate school applications, securing academic or non-academic internships, and applying for scholarships.
