Dr. Richard Lopez
Dr. Richard Lopez earned a BA in Psychology in 2009 from Princeton University, and then worked as a research assistant in Dr. Kevin Ochsner’s lab at Columbia University. In 2017, he obtained his PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Dartmouth, where he studied brain-behavior relationships as they relate to self-regulation of eating. Broadly, Dr. Lopez is interested in linking appetitive and affective processes to health outcomes and health risk behaviors—in both healthy and clinical populations.

In the modern world, smartphones, tablets, and other devices have comfortably embedded themselves into our daily routines and interactions. In an article recently published in BMC Psychology, Dr. Richard Lopez and colleagues ran a study with a group of college-aged students, a population that grew up during the explosion of portable devices and media and tested whether students’ media multitasking tendencies were associated with how they formed impressions about other people.
