Leonel Garcia-Marques

My PhD was supervised by David L. Hamilton and the topic was person memory and the incongruency effect. More recently I came to become more interested in the interaction between memory and a number of other social and cognitive topics. I currently served as an associate editor for the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and have served before as associate editor and editor-in-chief for the European Journal of Social Psychology. At the moment I also serve as Head of the Department and Principal Coordinator of CICPSI.

My main research interests are focused with the interaction between memory and topics like learning, impression formation, stereotypes and group processes. I am also interested in exploring the relationships between judgment and decision-making and learning. Finally, I am also concerned about philosophy of science and epistemology of statistics.
