Dr. Jaclyn Ford is a Research Assistant Professor in the Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory (https://Bclearningmemory.com) in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. Her research examines the effects of emotion and social relevance on memory retrieval processes, focusing on how individual differences in retrieval goals and context may modulate these effects. She utilizes behavioral and neuroimaging methods to characterize these changes in an attempt to better support memory retrieval in individuals with memory impairments.
