Ralph Miller, distinguished professor of psychology, will receive the annual QUAD-L Award at the University of New Mexico in February 2015. Miller was selected as the 25th annual recipient of the Quad-L Award in recognition of his outstanding research and contributions to the field of learning, memory and cognition. The Quad-L Trust was established at the University of New Mexico by Professor Frank Logan and his wife Julie. Each year the recipient of the Quad-L award delivers the Quad-L Lecture, which is the preeminent colloquium for the University of New Mexico Department of Psychology. Miller’s lecture is titled “The Persistence of Memory.” His research focuses on interactions between inconsistent memories, and how retrieval cues and contexts determine which memory will immediately control behavior. He is in the company of notable past recipients of the QUAD-L Award, including Robert Rescorla, William Estes, Allan Wagner, Gordon Bower, Anne Treisman, James McClelland, Nicholas Mackintosh, Henry Roediger, Azrin, Richard Thompson, Marcia Johnson, Peter Killeen, William Timberlake, Travis Thompson, Mark Bouton and Michael Posner.
