Dr. Sarah Krichbaum

Research Fellow at Canine Performance Sciences at Auburn. Studying learning and memory in dogs.

[Dr. Lucia Lazarowski @lu_la]

New publication from @KrichbaumSarah and I in which we tested our hypothesis that higher/lower value rewards differentially affect dogs' arousal and therefore inhibitory control performance

[Dr. Sarah Krichbaum @KrichbaumSarah]

These results suggest that in order to isolate working memory processes these strategies should be controlled for. DM me for full PDF!

New publication from my dissertation is now out in JEP:ALC!

[Dr. Sarah Krichbaum @KrichbaumSarah]

Results showed that performance decreased when these strategies were controlled and that in the typical task (regular study) condition dogs that spent more delay time orienting to the correct position performed better across delays.

I had a wonderful time presenting my dissertation research this morning. Still in shock that it’s over!

[Dr. Lucia Lazarowski @lu_la]

Congratulations to @KrichbaumSarah on defending her dissertation! Stellar presentation (and my excuse for having to bail on my #CSF21 session😅). So grateful to have you as an amazing colleague and friend! Time to celebrate 🥂

Very excited that my first dissertation chapter was published @SpringerANCO today! We conducted an olfactory delayed matching-to-sample task in dogs and found that delay and interference negatively influenced dog working memory as assessed in this task.

Performance in a behavior test as early as 3 mo was predictive of detection dog selection as an adult, with the test demonstrating high inter-rater reliability and convergence with other measures. Latest paper from @AuburnU Canine Performance Sciences

Meet the Labs of the lab! It’s not a requirement to adopt a retired working dog to be in the lab, but it is a potential side effect...

[Auburn Comparative Cognition Lab @AuburnCCL]

New lab publication! This outlook paper led by grad student @KrichbaumSarah discusses a recent study exploring episodic-like memory in dogs 🐶

I had a great time presenting my dissertation plans today! Excited to see what will come from this.

[Auburn Comparative Cognition Lab @AuburnCCL]

Congratulations to @KrichbaumSarah on a successful dissertation proposal! Lots of exciting work to come from this!

[Auburn Comparative Cognition Lab @AuburnCCL]

We are #19/203 most productive affiliations contributing to dog cognitive/behavioral science between 2005-2018! Very grateful for the interdisciplinary collaborations across our campus and our wonderful students & partners for allowing us to be part of such a thriving field!

[Auburn Comparative Cognition Lab @AuburnCCL]

Our lab has two poster presentations at this year's virtual @Psychonomic_Soc, available now for viewing! Fourth-year grad student @KrichbaumSarah presents results from a study on human olfactory memory using the odor span task (Working Memory - 3083) #psynom20

What our participants choose to do with their Dogtorate degree is their prerogative
