We are interested in cognitive principles that enhance learning and memory with a particular focus on study decisions, self-assessments of learning, and application to health and education contexts. Our primary goal is to identify methods to improve health education and learning of complex information. We adopt a lifespan approach to investigating these issues and frequently work with members of the community to explore the impact of healthy aging on learning and memory.

Confident Dementia Care
Confident Dementia Care
Our research applies the science of learning and memory to one of the most pressing challenges facing families today: caring for someone who is living with dementia. Working directly with caregivers, we develop evidence-based tools to help retain critical health information so it is available when they need it most. We aim to transform dementia education moving beyond simply simply providing information to building knowledge, confidence, and high quality care.
Visit the Confident Dementia Care page to learn about our exciting research on dementia education and caregiver support. Also be sure to visit the How To Participate page to learn about participating in our other experiments.
