Marianne E. Lloyd, Ph.D.
/
Dr. Marianne Lloyd (she/her) is a Professor at Seton Hall University, near Newark, New Jersey. She specializes in research on study strategies, neuromyths, and learning in early childhood. She earned her Ph.D. from SUNY Binghamton in 2005.
Dr. Lloyd primarily teaches research methods and statistics courses, and she focuses most of her vocational energy on improving learning and the student experience in these often dreaded courses. She is in the planning stages of a practical project on the relationship between memory and faith with a theologian and priest at Notre Dame University. Dr. Lloyd has led a faculty retreat at Seton Hall on imagination and memory, and spoken with servant leader scholars on authenticity and balance. She also frequently gives lectures to students on how to use memory principles to enhance study and test performance. One of the many positives to studying memory is that it is applicable to most any situation and has the power to improve not only grades but also well-being.
Dr. Lloyd also takes great joy in serving her profession. Currently, she is the Executive Director of the SPARK Society, Secretary of the Psychonomic Society, Treasurer of the Society for Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science (APA Division 3), and Vice Chair of the Collegium Board. She is a host of the PsychSessions Ask podcast and she was recently featured discussing meaningful educator commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
