David J. Hardy

Biography

Since arriving to LMU in 2004, I have maintained and developed a variety of teaching and research interests in psychological science. Teaching topics include statistics, cognitive neuroscience, the neuropsychology of Oliver Sacks, the philosophy and psychology of happiness, free will, and the self (co-taught with the philosopher Timothy Shanahan), the history of psychology, and the psychology of psychic phenomena. My research focuses on the neuropsychology of HIV/AIDS, cross-cultural issues in neuropsychological assessment, the application of mental workload and information processing techniques in neuropsychology, the impact of aging on cognition (including in aircraft pilots), and other topics! Much of my research is conducted with colleagues from UCLA, UCSD, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Universidad Católica de Córdoba, and other institutions. I also conduct research with students here at LMU in my Cognition and Human Performance Laboratory.
