Principal Investigator

Matthew Robison

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology. My research interests include attention and memory, primarily leveraging individual differences to test theories. But I also use eye-tracking, pupillometry, and EEG.

Before joining UT-Arlington, I was a postdoctoral research associate in Gene Brewer's Memory and Attention Control Lab at Arizona State University. I completed my graduate training in Nash Unsworth's Memory, Attention, and Individual Differences Lab at the University of Oregon. As an undergraduate student, I studied Entrepreneurship and Psychology at the University of Notre Dame.

I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD. In my spare time, I like to play golf and basketball, and watch any NBA game on TV.

Graduate Students

Stephen Campbell

I received my B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside in 2019. After graduation, I worked as the lab manager for the Cognitive Neuroscience of Perception, Attention, and Memory lab under Dr. Weiwei Zhang at UCR researching the effects of concurrent physical effort on some aspects of attention and memory along with research relating to the COVID pandemic. My research interests lie in working memory, visual attention, and individual differences.

In my free time, you can find me reading, playing tennis, or probably just taking a nap.

Undergraduate Research Assistants

Brian Nguyen

​I am interested in researching memory, attention, and how these systems interact with each other. I am also interested in how they are affected by different factors such as motivation and individual differences. My goal is to attend medical school and eventually become a family physician!
​Major: Biology; minor: Psychology

Edward Davis

My interest in this lab falls from my desire to learn more about the brain. Specifically, attention span and memory and how those two aspects correlate to each other while using the incorporation of pupillometry and other various tests for a deeper understanding. My future goal is to go on to medical school and become a physician and hopefully utilize the techniques I learned in this lab to get a more in-depth understanding in treating various types of patients.
​Major: Biology; Minor: Neuroscience

Paola Mateo

Learning about the brain and the connections that it has to other brain regions is what I enjoy the most about psychology. Specifically, I am interested in researching memory as well as going more into depth with decision-making. I believe these factors are correlated and have a great impact on thought processing and how behavior is executed. My future goals include attending graduate school, earning a PhD in Cognitive Psychology/Neuroscience, and eventually using this knowledge to become a neuropsychologist in order to help those with severe disorders. 
Major: Psychology; Minor: Neuroscience and Biology
