Caroline Hoch

Caroline Hoch graduated in May 2020 with a major in Neuroscience and minors in Biology and Spanish for the Medical Professions. She was a member of the Cohen Lab from Fall 2016-Spring 2020 and took on an independent project during her senior year, in which she explored the reliability of the current ADHD neurocognitive profiles. She found that heterogeneity exists within both ADHD and typically developing populations, especially in measures of affective processing, risk taking, and executive control. Caroline remains on the pre-med track, and is currently conducting clinical research in orthopaedics at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Chloe Emehel

Chloe is currently a freshman at North Carolina A&T on the [full] Cheatham-White Scholarship.
North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics 20′ (NCSSM)

Interests: In general I am interested in psychology and neuroscience. To be more specific, I have been exposed to behavioral, family, and developmental psychology and plan to continue research related to these topics in the future. One of my favorite classes at NCSSM was Topics in Psychology, where I learned more about the psychology of medicine, work, family, prison, and advertising. Right now, I’m thinking about the medical/clinical route for psychology & neuroscience.

Internship: During my time in the Cohen lab I researched the relationship between cancer, cognition, and mood for the Cancer & Cognition study under the supervision of Marc Rudolph. I was introduced to reference management and citation practices using Mendeley, coding and statistical analysis using R and Python, and conducted several literature reviews. I learned more about neuropsychological assessments and experimental cognitive paradigms coded in Matlab and PsychoPy.


Project: Assessing the Effects of Depression on the Severity of Chemobrain in Breast Cancer Survivor.
This project sought to assess the relationship between self-reported levels of stress and depression measured with the perceived stress scale (Cohen et al., 1983), and the Beck depression inventory (Beck et al., 1961), with both general and specific aspects of attention and memory in a sample of 15 breast cancer survivors and 16 age and IQ-matched healthy control participants (HC) with no history of cancer or treatment with chemotherapy.
