Biography
Research Area:
Does Dr. Riccio plan to recruit a doctoral student for the next incoming class?
Research Interests
Research interests are in aversively motivated learning and memory processes using animals as models. Major current focus of my lab is on forgetting of stimulus attributes and mechanisms involved in retrograde amnesia.
Courses Frequently Taught
- Learning (undergraduate)
- Learning (graduate)
- Biopsychology of Memory (graduate)
