A research project spearheaded by current NIH postdoctoral fellow and lab alumnus, Dr. Weizhen Xie, investigated the relationship between working memory capacity and social distancing compliance during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Co-authored by Dr. Xie, Dr. Weiwei Zhang, and lab manager Stephen Campbell, our paper titled “Working memory capacity predicts individual differences in social-distancing compliance during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States” was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)!
