Felix Herndon Bio Felix Herndon I received my undergraduate degree from U. C. Berkeley and my Ph.D. from U. C. Davis. I am a cognitive psychologist. My primary research interest is memory, in particular the ways that common memory processes influence our everyday understanding of the world.
Understanding includes memory of information different than what is being understood.
This 'interpretive' information might enhance or impair understanding. Psychological research can show us how this occurs. Among other courses I teach Cognitive Psychology, Conditioning and Learning, and Critical Thinking. I enjoy racquetball, dancing, hiking and nature in general. I maintain an interest in the effects of esthetic enjoyment on physical and mental health.
