Projects
Current Projects
Hyerim directs clinical studies in the Human Addiction Psychopharmacology Laboratory. Her research investigates the processes by which drug and alcohol effects become paired with cues (people, places, paraphernalia) surrounding drug-taking experiences. She studies drug conditioning processes using behavioral (cognitive function), physiological (heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol) and subjective (self-reported mood) measures. Hyerim is also conducting a research project that she began as an undergraduate student in the lab. In this project, she is using a computerized task to assess appetitive conditioning using monetary reward.
