Research Interests:
Research conducted in the Cognitive Lab covers three broad domains:
attention, memory, and language. Of specific interest is the interplay
among these domains. For example, how does attention modulate
performance in different linguistic tasks? How do factors related to
linguistic knowledge affect memory performance? An underlying theme that
pervades much of the work in the lab is the role of automatic and controlled
processes in cognitive tasks. In addition, changes in cognitive
performance in healthy aging and in the presence of dementing
illnesses, such as dementia of the Alzheimer's type, are examined to increase
our understanding of these phenomena.
