Emily R. Weichart, Ph.D.

Emily is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Utah State University. She received a B.S. in Psychology in 2013 and an M.A. in Cognitive Psychology in 2017 from The Ohio State University. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Virginia in 2020, and then returned to The Ohio State University to complete a three-year postdoctoral fellowship. Her recent work has explored time-varying mechanisms of decision making during perceptual tasks, with the broader goal of understanding the complex dynamics that connect visual attention, memory, and decision making processes.
