Career Specialties

Benjamin Marsh specializes in cognitive psychology.

Professional and Community Activities

Marsh researches how cognitive processes are mediated by language and culture, mostly focusing on memory processes. More specifically, he researchers how language facilitates memory retrieval (Marsh, Kanaya, & Pezdek, 2015), the factors that influence face recognition accuracy (Marsh, Pezdek, & Ozery, 2016) and how lexical structures are cognitively linked to mental representations of culture. Also, he is interested in phenomenological factors that influence the likelihood of having a false memory (Marsh, Pezdek, & Lam, 2014). While his research is conducted with most populations, he regularly studies how these effects manifest in people who are bilingual and bicultural.

Honors and Awards

After college, Marsh received a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English in Hong Kong.
