What happens when we remember? Most saliently, we experience a record of our past, but we also change the memories we retrieve: for example, leading questions alter eyewitness memories, inducing possible miscarriages of justice. Furthermore, retrieved memories help us to form new ones: recollecting details from course prerequisites helps with retention of new lecture material.
I research the consequences of bringing memories to life. To this end, my studies frequently incorporate monitoring of human brain activity with fMRI. Using computational methods, I track neural evidence of memory reactivation within participants鈥 brains, which I relate to other processes such as memory formation, forgetting, planning for the future, and perception.
In related work, I research neural processes that underlie remembering, focusing on how and why individual differences in our brain anatomy explain differences in our memory ability, especially as they concern the hippocampus. Because of the spatial complexity of neuroanatomy, this work incorporates conceptual and methodological development in the area of neuroanatomical modeling.

My research focuses on sexual wellbeing. Research streams include genitopelvic dysesthesias, specifically vulvodynia and persistent genital arousal disorder, the development of patient-reported outcome measures in the areas of sexual health and wellbeing, treatment outcome, and sexual psychophysiology. I intentionally adopt an inclusive lens in my research, representing sexually and gender minoritized samples as well as other marginalized groups. Methods of investigation range from self-report (face-to-face, online, survey; quantitative and qualitative) to basic science methodologies including quantitative sensory testing, blood flow imaging, and brain/pelvic imaging, allowing for mixed-methods and multimethod study designs.

Research Interests
Human cognition is not always directly related to the events taking place in the here and now and understanding the neural basis behind the thoughts and feelings that occupy our daily lives is one of the most important questions facing cognitive neuroscience. To address this important question Professor Smallwood鈥檚 work uses state-of-the-art techniques for brain analysis as well as novel methods for assessing both patterns of ongoing thought, and task driven behaviour. Ongoing work focuses on the relationship between different patterns of ongoing experience and both positive and negative features of health and well being and how the structure of these complex patterns of thought are constrained by the organisation of the structure of the cortex.

Our research program focuses on gender/sex and sexual diversity, sexuality, feminist/queer science, and social neuroendocrinology. Within gender/sex and sexual diversity, we explore measurement and understandings of these phenomena, including with models we've developed (like sexual configurations theory), and with relevance to trans, nonbinary, queer, and/or other minoritized gender/sex/ual experiences/identities/existences, as well as "majority-situating" approaches with gender/sex/ual majorities. With sexuality, we explore desire, orgasm, pleasure, porn, and other topics, including with theory we've developed (like the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men). With social neuroendocrinology, we explore the impact of social behavioural contexts related to intimacy, gender, sexuality, and power/oppression on hormones like testosterone, using theory we have developed (like our steroid/peptide theory of social bonds). And, with feminist/queer science, we do work on articulating principles for this approach and how it imbues all our other research.

My work focuses on biopsychosocial mechanisms in the development of youth emotion dysregulation and related outcomes (e.g., depression, suicide). I am especially interested in understanding the costs, benefits, and foundations--social and biological--of emotion awareness. My work draws on theories of embodied emotion and interoception (upward body-to-brain communication) and integrates multiple methodologies (behavioral, psycholinguistic, biological) to measure emotion experience and the social and biological processes informing it.

My research focuses on understanding how learning and experience can fundamentally reshape the way we represent information in memory, as well as how our representational spaces are actively reorganized to facilitate retrieval from memory. To address these questions, I have studied the costs of divided attention, the benefits of active learning tasks (e.g. drawing, motor enactment), and the changes in patterns of brain activity elicited by regularities in our environment. In other work, I have explored the experience of mind-wandering, a commonly experienced phenomenon where our thoughts drift away from what we are currently doing and toward internal thoughts and concerns. Specifically, I am interested in how episodes of mind wandering impact learning and performance, and how mind wandering might be reduced in educational settings. I use behavioural experiments, computational tools, and functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate these and related questions, and wherever possible, I conduct experiments that relate the laboratory to the real-world (e.g. long-term studies in actual university classrooms).

To function successfully, we need to be able to select the perceptual information relevant to current task goals, and the responses appropriate given the current task goals. I am interested in the attentional control processes that we use to flexibly control our perceptions, memories, and actions in our attempt to successfully complete tasks. Using a combination of behavioural studies and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, I examine limitations in attentional control, how attentional control processes shape the world that we perceive, and the cortical mechanisms that underlie attentional control.
