Dr. Antonia Mantonakis, BSc, MA, PhD

Associate Fellow - CCOVI, Brock University
Associate Research Fellow - Vineland Research and Innovation Centre
Dr. Mantonakis’ research centres on understanding psychological factors that affect consumer memory: whether that is a nostalgic experience, or a recent experience. Her investigations, which use experiments, are attempts to understand the phenomenological aspects of remembering that are involved in both veridical and illusory memories.
