Evan Curtis – M.Cog.Sc. 2012I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Manitoba and I am currently in my first of the Masters program here at Carleton. I am working in the Centre for Applied Cognitive Research (CACR) math lab under Dr. Jo-Anne LeFevre. I am currently interested in the ways that the meaning we derive from mathematical word problems can alter our internal representation of the numbers involved. We take it for granted that the number two is a consistent concept, but this might not always be the case. Numbers might take on a variety of meanings depending on the context they are presented in. I intend to investigate aspects of those framing effects. Peripheral interests at the moment include music cognition, implicit learning, and neural networks. |

Janine Fitzpatrick – M.Cog.Sc. 2011janinekfitzpatrick@gmail.com Aside from studying emotional language processing under the supervision of Dr. John Logan and completing an RA-ship in the Language and Brain Lab with Dr. Masako Hirotani, I spent my time at Carleton purchasing bagel sandwiches from Roosters and playing video games in the VSIM lounge. I was a co-founder of the Cognitive Science Students’ Association and churned out some pretty decent baked goods for the ICS colloquia (if I do say so myself). |

Jacky Tweedie – M.Cog.Sc. 2011Jacky Tweedie belongs to the growing cohort of cognitive scientists working for the Government of Canada – in integrated risk management for a large department. She applies a liberal treatment of cognitive science research methodologies, frameworks and assumptions to policy development and service delivery. Herbert Simon is still one of her favourite cognitive scientists, even though government policy people believe him to be a public administration theorist/ |
