Research Biography

Cognition shows patterns of both loss and gain through adulthood. While "mental mechanics" (i.e., working memory capacity, computational speed, executive control of attention) may decline, crystallized abilities (i.e., verbal ability, knowledge, acculturation) show continued capacity for growth in many life-span contexts. Our research program has been focused on understanding the implications of these changes in basic capacities for continued learning, how strategic regulation of attention enables compensation, and how habitual engagement in learning engenders cognitive vitality.
