Research Interests
I am interested in memory, attention, and executive functions and how these abilities change with normal aging. I am also interested in what distinguishes normal age-related cognitive change from abnormal cognitive aging, as in mild cognitive impairment and dementia. My current projects include investigations of interference resolution and inhibitory control mechanisms across the lifespan, everyday memory problems and their relationship to memory performance in laboratory settings, bilingualism and its effect on cognition, and problem solving and memory. In addition, I am involved in research efforts aimed at understanding cognitive control problems in a number of different populations, such as individuals with weight regulation difficulties, and individuals undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
