"My work draws from developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience to better understand the development of high-level cognitive abilities (reasoning, memory and cognitive control) from childhood through early adulthood. My PhD and post-doctoral work examined how brain development and cognitive development contribute to the development of reasoning abilities and decision-making in adolescence. My current research examines individual differences in reasoning, cognitive control and memory in the context of reading comprehension. For more information, see my personal profile."

"In my work I take a developmental cognitive neuroscience approach to better understand learning and skill acquisition across development. My PhD and post-doctoral work examined the effects of cognitive training and academic tutoring on brain function and structure. My current research examines developmental and individual differences in learning and academic performance, in relation to differences in brain function, cognitive abilities, and prior experience. For more information, see my personal profile."
