Rate My Professor Tom Phenix

Phenix's research specializations focus on mathematical cognition, arithmetic knowledge representation, and memory retrieval processes. He is actively investigating the boundary conditions of retrieval-induced forgetting. His scholarly contributions include key publications such as 'Identical elements model of arithmetic memory: Extension to addition and subtraction' (with J.I.D. Campbell and S. Fuchs-Lacelle, 2006), which extends models of arithmetic memory; 'Effects of multiplication practice on product verification: Integrated structures model or retrieval-induced forgetting?' (with J.I.D. Campbell, 2004), exploring practice effects in verification tasks; 'Target strength and retrieval-induced forgetting in semantic recall' (with J.I.D. Campbell, 2009), examining forgetting mechanisms; 'True (but not false) memories are subject to retrieval-induced forgetting in children' (with H.L. Price, 2015); and 'Applying retrieval-induced forgetting to children's testimony' (with H.L. Price, 2012). Additional works include 'Fan effects reveal position-specific numerical concepts' (with J.I.D. Campbell, 2001) and 'Cognitive inhibition: Insights from arithmetic fact retrieval' (2005). These publications delve into retrieval dynamics, cognitive inhibition, and implications for memory in arithmetic and testimonial contexts.
