Eight students presented research at the 95th annual EPA conference in Philadelphia, PA
by Liz Mendicino ’26
The Eastern Psychological Association (EPA) hosts a annually with the purpose of bringing psychologists from across all disciplines to present the newest advances in professional and scientific work to their peers. Ramapo students, recent alumni, and faculty presented their research at the conference’s competitive Undergraduate Poster Session. Alexandra Sacchinelli 鈥24, Elizabeth Sandoval 鈥24, Angelina Avetissian 鈥24, Dayamaris Cuello-Pena 鈥23, Michael Zampini 鈥24, Lyndsay Horn 鈥24, Danielle Rosengrant 鈥24, and Suzanne Zaugg 鈥24 presented posters that they completed with the support of faculty members Nasseem Choudhary, PhD, Joseph Cattaliotti, PhD, and Shaziela Ishak, PhD.
鈥淭he Eastern Psychological Association鈥檚 annual conferences are an amazing opportunity for students to present their research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience,鈥 Rosengrant said. 鈥淥ur lab has presented at this conference in the past, so we knew that we wanted to apply again and present our most recent study. The conference itself is a huge learning experience and it’s a great opportunity to network with other researchers, including both undergraduate and graduate students, who are interested in similar research areas.鈥
Contrast Effect Differences and Eye Movements
Alexandra Sacchinelli 鈥24 and Professor Cataliotti鈥檚 research focused on Contrast Effect Differences and eye movements. They conducted an experiment studying how eye movement affects perception of Simultaneous Lightness Contrasts (SLC鈥檚).
Body Size Bias: Limiting Potential Occupations
Elizabeth Sandoval 鈥24, Angelina Avetissian 鈥24, and Dayamaris Cuello-Pena 鈥23 have worked with Professor Ishak for over a year on the research they presented at the conference, and it is clear that that time was very well spent. Their research intended to determine whether there is a body size bias in hiring. 鈥淭he most rewarding part of applying to the conference was being able to bring light to a topic that has been a controversial issue for many years,鈥 said Cuello-Pena. Sandoval, Avetissian, and Cuello-Pena each noted their appreciation to Professor Ishak throughout the process, citing her as an incredible support and resource. The conference itself, they noted, was a fantastic opportunity for presenting their research. 鈥淲hat drew me to this conference was really the environment,鈥 Sandoval said.鈥 I thought it would be a great way to network with fellow researchers in psychology and get talking about not only my research but research others worked so hard on.鈥
The Parental Influence: Restrictive Social Media Practices and their Consequences
Michael Zampini 鈥24 and Lyndsay Horn 鈥24 conducted their research on the effects of restrictive social media practices in parenting.聽
P3b Auditory Processing Differences in Adults with Self-Reported Attentional Deficits
Danielle Rosengrant 鈥24 and Suzanne Zaugg 鈥24 worked with Professor Choudhury, presenting a poster on early auditory processing differences seen in adults with self-reported attentional deficits at the conference. They conducted research utilizing EEG (electroencephalogram) recordings of the brain鈥檚 activity during attentional attacks with auditory stimuli, as the mechanisms of adult ADHD are vastly misunderstood and understudied. 鈥淪eeing the results of my hard work and having the opportunity to present them to other students and researchers in the field is highly rewarding, especially after being in this lab and working on this project over the past three years,鈥 Rosengrant said. Rosengrant was additionally selected as the recipient of the 2024 Faculty-Student Research Award for the School of Social Science and Human Services for her research.
