Sam McDougle

Samuel D. McDougle is a cognitive neuroscientist who runs the Action, Computation, and Thinking (ACT) lab at Yale, investigating human learning, memory, and the interface between high-level cognition and motor behavior. His research uses psychophysical, computational, and neurophysiological techniques to study how motor skill learning involves an interaction between executive functions and low-level processes.
