John Dewey, Ph.D.

Dr. Dewey joined the Department of Psychological Sciences at UNG-Dahlonega in the fall of 2016. He has a doctoral degree in cognitive psychology from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in artificial intelligence from the University of Georgia. His research focuses on the sense of agency, i.e. the sensation of controlling one’s body and the environment.
