Curriculum Vitae

Saskia Giebl
sgiebl@psych.ucla.edu

Saskia, Ph.D.(c) investigates cognitive processes that enhance long-term learning and transfer of knowledge to new learning circumstances in the classroom, the workplace, and in sports. Specifically, she focuses on types of practice that promote effective activities and conditions for lasting learning to occur.

As an active liaison between learning scientists and the general public, Saskia gives presentations and provides workshops/seminars on how we can master lasting learning to both academic and business audiences. As well, her expertise extends to the sports field where she applies science-based training methodologies to promote better performance.

Jordan Brabec
jbrabec@ucla.edu

Jordan is a fifth-year graduate student humbled to be a part of the Bjork lab. Broadly interested in the intersection of cognitive research and educational practice, Jordan is currently most interested in examining whether and how the true-false test, which is frequently derided as an ineffective, or even harmful, test format, can be optimized to elicit more generative retrieval processes, enhance the retention of accurate information, reduce the influence of negative suggestion, and promote transfer. Some of Jordan’s other, nonacademic interests include music composition and performance, plant-based cooking, theatre, and caring for his dog, Hershel, who is far too cute for his own good. After earning his PhD, Jordan plans to explore a career path in the private sector, applying his training as a cognitive psychologist in ways that, with any luck, might enhance the iterative improvement of our world.

My research interests include memory capacity (both long-term and working memory), selectivity in learning and memory, false or distorted memories, metacognition, attention, intelligence, and how these things change over the course of life. Additionally, I am interested in many applied aspects of learning and memory.
