Athens, Georgia, United States
Richard Lamb, Ph.D. is a member of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology and the Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy in the College of Pharmacy and College of Veterinary Medicine. He is currently the director of the Neurocognition Science Laboratory at the University of Georgia. He earned his Ph.D. from George Mason University, College of Education and Human Development in 2013 in Science Education and Measurement. His research focuses on the identification of cognitive markers of learning, increasing efficacy and performance of neural processing and cognition during learning using novel technologies in educational environments. A second area of related research is in the use of psychophysiomeasurement tools and virtual and synthetic environments to provide access to learning opportunities and assessment of mental status and socioemotional health interventions for students at all levels of the P-20 continuum. Using advanced technologies, he seeks to shape the biopsychosocial aspects of learning and mental health, to promote learning and wellbeing across the lifespan. His work is interdisciplinary and draws from computer science, cognitive psychology, behavioral neuroscience, psychometrics. The purpose of Lamb’s research is to translate basic behavioral neuroscience and psychological research into educational and counseling practice. He has taught courses in learning technologies, science education, neuroimaging, psychophysiomeasurement, psychometrics, counseling research, educational measurement, and the science of learning. Additional courses he has taught include advanced quantitative methods such as analysis of sensor signal data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, multilevel modeling, and structural equation modeling.
