Research Interests
My research focus is on understanding basic cognitive control abilities and how those abilities may change as we develop into old age. The ability to control cognition by keeping relevant information active in working memory, elaborating on that information in relevant ways, and isolating it from interfering thoughts can be measured within the range of cognitive domains. My research has examined these control abilities in an eye movement task, in memory using a false memory task and in prospective memory.
