Our interrelated lines of research contribute to theories in cognition, development, and education. We investigate factors that impact learning complex STEM or health information, retention of knowledge, and knowledge revision. This involves investigating self-regulated learning and metacognitive processes in human memory and concept formation. We are also invested in evaluating how these processes function for different kinds of learners and across a lifetime.  Below are examples of recent publications in each of these lines of work (see the Publications tab for a full list of papers).
