Marisa Cohen

Teaches at Brooklyn Brainery

Dr. Marisa T. Cohen earned her doctoral degree in Educational Psychology, with a concentration in Learning, Development and Instruction from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. While her dissertation and early research interests focused on interventions which facilitate the acquisition and retention of vocabulary within the science content area, she has shifted her focus in recent years.

In Fall 2014, along with a colleague, she founded the Self-Awareness and Bonding Lab (SABL) at St. Francis College. The research conducted in this lab centers on the subfields of social psychology and relationship science. Research has focused on the development of relationships throughout the life span, including factors influencing mate choice and peoples’ perceptions of what makes relationships survive and thrive.
