David C. Riccio, Ph.D.

Education: Ph.D., Princeton University (1962)

Research Interests

Research interests are in aversively motivated learning and memory processes using animals as models. Major current focus of my lab is on forgetting of stimulus attributes and mechanisms involved in retrograde amnesia.
