Research Activities I am interested in the interface between immediate memory (holding something in mind) and attention (selectively focusing on something and not something else) that helps guide human behavior – typically referred to as the working memory system. Mind-wandering during reading, forgetting why you walked into a room, and making the wrong turn at an intersection because you usually turn there on your way to work are everyday examples of when this system fails. The goal of my research is to understand the situation variables that give rise to these failures, in addition to understanding how and why individuals vary in working memory functioning. More recently, my research approach has been more applied, in attempting to identify how working memory is related to different types of multitasking in different areas, and whether working memory training is effective. Another line of my research involves the study of neurocognitive testing after traumatic brain injury, specifically in the area of return-to-play decisions after sports-related concussions.
