A Bit about Us

We are interested in learning and memory with a particular focus on study decisions and self-assessments of learning. Our primary goal is to identify methods to improve students' self-regulated learning and achievement in their actual classrooms. We also 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. Visit the Research, Publications, and Press Coverage pages to learn more about our work.
