Lindsey St. Work phone: (405) Dale Hall Tower, Room 727 Cell phone: (724) Norman, OK EMPLOYMENT: - present Assistant Professor of Developmental and Cognitive Psychology; Elements of Psychology Coordinator, The University of Oklahoma EDUCATION & TRAINING: Postdoctoral Research Associate, Carnegie Mellon University Mentor: Robert S. Siegler Ph.D., Developmental Psychology, The Ohio State University Minor: Cognitive Psychology Advisor: John E. Opfer Dissertation: The representational alignment hypothesis of transfer of numerical representations M.A., Developmental Psychology, The Ohio State University Advisor: John E. Opfer B.A., Psychology, California University of Pennsylvania Honors Program Minor: music Summa cum laude INTERNAL FUNDING: Faculty Enrichment Grant ($1,200), College of Arts & Sciences at OU Funds from this grant were used to defray costs of attending the National Institute of the Teaching of Psychology conference where I presented a poster on Introductory Psychology students study strategies. The data were collected in collaboration with my undergraduate Honors Thesis student, Lindsey Boer. Attendance at the conference allowed me to network with other Introductory Psychology coordinators to provide the best experience for OU students enrolled in the course. Travel Funding Support ($3,600), 1/3 1/3 1/3 Match Program at OU Funds from the Psychology department, College of Arts & Sciences, and the Office of the VP for Research will be used to defray costs of attending the biennial conference of the Society for Research in Child Development. Two papers I have coauthored will be presented at the conference. Attendance at the conference will

2 Clarissa A. Thompson CV 2 help me recruit future graduate students for my lab and provide valuable feedback prior to submitting the related manuscripts for publication. Online Programs ($3,000; proposal submitted), College of Arts & Sciences at OU I am working with a graduate student, William Landon, to revamp the online offerings of the Elements of Psychology course. We will use lecture capture technology and provide students with interactive activities they can complete on the textbook s website.
