Socio Cognitive Processes LabOur lab investigates how cognition manifests in, and is influenced by, the social contexts in which it occurs. We focus: 1) on how conversational interactions can reshape memory, by promoting shared remembering and shared forgetting, and 2) on how socio-cognitive processes affect the formation of collective memories and beliefs, and the dynamics of collective decisions. In exploring these issues, while maintaining high ecological validity, our lab integrates a wide range of methodologies, including laboratory experiments, field studies, social network analysis, and agent-based simulations.
