Glenberg Lab - Lab Members
Current Contributing Members to Glenberg's Fall 2009 Lab:
Dr. Arthur Glenberg, Ph.D.
(Arthur.Glenberg[at]asu.edu)
Art Glenberg received his BA in Psychology from Miami University (the real one in Oxford, OH) in 1970, and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1974. His appointment at the University of Wisconsin, where he is currently an emeritus professor, began in 1974. He became a professor at Arizona State University in 2008.
Research in the Glenberg lab is organized into two tracks. The first investigates the embodied basis of cognition with a focus on language. This basic research is guided by the question: How do neural systems of action, perception, and emotion contribute to high-level cognition? The second track applies the basic research to developing a reading comprehension intervention for emerging readers. The intervention is designed to help children construct embodied mental models while reading: Children literally manipulate toys to correspond to the sentences they read, and then they learn to imagine manipulating the toys. This intervention greatly increases reading comprehension and has the collateral benefit of helping children love to read.
David Havas
Formerly a professional folk musician, David now studies cognitive psychology of emotional language comprehension in the UW-Madison Department of Psychology. He enjoys home-renovation, and emotional language comprehension with his wife Hayley, a Ph.D. student in counseling psychology
Dr. Suzanne H. Broughton, Ph.D
(Suzanne.Broughton[at]asu.edu)
Dr. Suzanne Broughton received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her research interests in the area of reading comprehension include investigations on text structure and interventions including small group discussions, self-explanations, and argumentation. Suzanne’s research interests also include examining the role of emotions on conceptual change, attitude change, and belief change in science classrooms. Suzanne’s current responsibilities involve implementing a large-scale study investigating the integration of a grounding-in-action (Glenberg et al., 2007; 2004) reading intervention.
Liz Marsh
(Elizabeth.R.Marsh[at]gmail.com)
Liz is a second year grad student in the Cognitive Psychology PhD program at ASU. She did her undergrad at Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, where she received a double BA (Philosophy/Psychology).
Her primary interest is in philosophy of mind. Specifically, she likes to focus on connecting meaning in language to perception and action. She believes that the basic theory of embodied cognition can provide a framework upon which to build solidly empirical understanding of cognitive processes ranging from implicit memory to abstract
reasoning.
Taunalee Bradshaw
(Taunalee.Bradshaw[at]asu.edu)
Taunalee Bradshaw is a native of Idaho, but has been living in Tempe, AZ for the past three years. During her time in Arizona, she has worked as an Elementary school teacher in the local Tempe School district in a Dual Language classroom. Along with teaching full time, she has been working on a Master's Degree at ASU in the college of Education. She recently graduated with her master's degree in Bilingual Education in the spring of 2008 and has been recruited for the new Ph.D. Applied Linguistics program at ASU. She is planning on pursuing topics of study and research specifically related to Educational linguistics in addition to considering and studying social issues that influence language development and use. She is currently involved in the work of one of the research projects that Dr. Arthur Glenberg has designed and is conducting this year taking place in some of the surrounding school districts.
Michael Toma

Mike is a senior obtaining is B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy. He holds ambitions of continuing his education at the Ph.D. level with Cognitive Science/Psychology studies. His interests related to cognition deal on a spectrum ranging from higer-order thinking, Savant’s Syndrome and synesthesia, to decision making, neuro-ethics and general conscious thought processing. Career wise, he plans to conduct research within the cognitive field either for a university or similar research institution/facility. Interests not pertaining to cognition include laughter, design, automobiles, biking and computers.
Matt Moffat
(Matthew.Moffat[at]asu.edu)

Jon is a Senior majoring in Psychology at ASU and is in his second semester participating in the Glenberg Lab for Embodied Cognition. Upon completing his degree he hopes to attend graduate school and pursue his Ph.D., most likely in the area of Social Psychology, I/O Psychology, or Organizational Behavior. In addition to interests in Social Psychology, Jon’s interest in embodied cognition has peaked since becoming a member of the lab. Jon also has a newborn daughter that he hopes will benefit from the lab’s research on reading comprehension interventions.
