About Me

Barbara A. Drescher
A cognitive psychologist and lecturer at California State University, Northridge, I conduct research in several areas and primarily teach quantitative research methods and perception & cognition.
My Research Interests include:
- Reasoning
- Decision-Making
- Understanding of Probabilities
- Objectivity & Tenacity
- Perception
- Visual Attention
- Human Responses to Color
For the Record
I hope my posts over the years will include discussions of religion and politics. To keep from repeating myself and to allow readers to find quick answers to the questions they may have about my perspectives, I have summarized my political and religious views (as they stand today) on other pages. As always, I reserve the right to change these views and you will find me open to criticism of them. Do not call me a hypocrite if I flip, but if I defy my views without changing them, call me on it!
Some presentations of interesting research that I have either conducted or mentored:
The Complex Path From Color to Emotion presented at the Association for Psychological Sciences annual convention 2008
The Taste of Color presented at the Western Psychological Association annual convention 2008
