My Current research is focused on youth social media use related to their identity, decision-making, and risky behaviors. Specifically, I’m interested in seeing how using social media applications can be related to adolescents’ risky decision-making or unwanted online shopping.

I am interested in the fidelity of visual memory. I study visual memory and the relationship with attention and memory capacity through EEG and behavioural methods. I will additionally use fMRI to investigate this question further through collaborations across research institutions.

My current research is focused on the recognition of unfamiliar faces.
Specifically, I am investigating how exposure to within-person variability (i.e. differences in lighting, facial expressing, hairstyle etc. across different photos of the same person) might improve our recognition of other-race faces. I am also interested in how children learn new faces.

My research focuses on the relation between motivation, cognitive control and cognition. Recently, I have been interested in how inhibiting prepotent or rewarding responses can influence attentional breadth (i.e., seeing more of the forest or the trees).

Elvira’s primary research focuses on prejudice and discrimination against women. Specifically, she studies how women react to anti-female comments (e.g., sexist jokes) and sexist media content (e.g., sexually objectifying images). She is also interested in individual difference predictors of prejudice against women, including social dominance orientation and hostile sexism. Broadly, she investigates when and why both lower and higher status group members maintain and bolster group-based social hierarchies.
