Dunja’s academic and research
interests began as an undergraduate at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania. She graduated Summa Cum Laude, earning a B.A. in
psychology and a minor in statistics.
Dunja is funded through the
University of Florida CLAS Alumni Fellowship. Dunja will be traveling
to Vancouver with her advisor, Dr. Lise Abrams in November to present
her work at the 44th Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society.
Currently, Dunja’s work includes:
(1) Investigating which factors influence retrieval of correct
spellings from long-term memory in young and older adults, (2)
beginning a Master’s project on whether recency or frequency is more
powerful in determining new connection formation and whether older
adults are affected differently than younger adults by recency and
frequency.
