Michael K. Scullin, Ph.D.

Education

Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Emory University School of Medicine

Ph.D., Washington University in St. Louis, 2011

B.S., Furman University, 2007

Biography

Dr. Scullin completed his doctorate in the Behavior, Brain, and Cognition program at Washington University in St. Louis and then a post-doctoral fellowship in the Neurology and Sleep Medicine program at Emory University School of Medicine. He is involved in service committees for the Sleep Research Society, he is a columnist for Teaching Current Directions in Psychological Science at APS, and he co-founded the APA journal Translational Issues in Psychological Science.

Academic Interests and Research

Dr. Scullin’s research investigates how sleep physiology impacts memory, cognition, and health. He is also interested in how we use memory to fulfill our daily intentions (a special kind of memory called “prospective" memory) including whether reminder apps and other technological solutions can reduce prospective memory difficulties in older age and the early states of Alzheimer's disease.
