Dr. Naomi Koerner directs the Cognition and Psychopathology Lab. Although her research to date has focused mostly on worry and generalized anxiety disorder, the lab has a broad interest in cognition and psychopathology, specifically in the ways in which concepts and methods from experimental cognitive psychology can be used to (1) gain a better understanding of etiological and maintaining factors in clinical disorders and (2) refine psychological treatments. Research interests include various facets of cognition: cognitive structures (e.g., the organization and representation in memory of threat), cognitive processes (e.g., attention, appraisal, interpretation, problem-solving, reasoning) and self-reported thoughts and attitudes.
