Research/Creative Interests

I investigate differences in memory and decision-making between younger and older adults using behavioral (computer tasks), eye tracking, and fMRI methods.

Research/Creative Needs

Research activities include designing experiments, reading and discussing scientific research articles, finding connections between different articles that we read, recruiting and running older and younger adult participants in studies, statistical analysis of memory and decision-making performance and neural activity associated with those tasks, and meeting with other students in the lab, me, and collaborators at other universities to discuss research.
