Research Interests

I am interested in how cognition changes across the lifespan. My current research focuses on changes in attention and cognitive control in aging. I am also interested in how attention and cognitive control may interact with broader psychological constructs (e.g., working and long-term memory) and in how understanding individual differences in these cognitive processes may lead to improved strategies and technologies for older adults.
