Director
Dr. Maddox received his B.A. in Psychology at University of Missouri – Columbia (2007). He then completed his Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis (2013) with emphasis in Cognitive Psychology as well as Aging and Development. At Rhodes College he has taught Introduction to Psychological Science, Research Methods and Statistics, and Advanced Methods: Randomized Experiments. Dr. Maddox’s research attempts to better understand the underlying mechanisms and cognitive processes that contribute to successful acquisition, storage and retrieval of information from episodic memory in young and older adults.
