My research interests are varied; however, my foundational training is in topics related to metamemory, metacognition, source memory, source monitoring, and age-related decline and sparing of cognitive and metacognitive functions. I have taught a number of courses including research methods, statistics for the behavioral sciences, cognitive psychology, history and systems of psychology, general psychology, lifespan development, sensation and perception, and elderly development.
