How do people learn best, how do they think they learn best, and why is there frequently a disconnect between the two?
Understanding how various learning strategies affect memory is critical for determining what works, for whom, and under which conditions. Therefore, our research goes beyond identifying ways of studying that enhance learning and aims to describe their underlying cognitive mechanisms.
Error Correction
How do we correct errors in our learning?
Feedback timing, Hypercorrection
Learning Complex Concepts from Examples
Comparison learning, Structured self-explanation
How do people learn complex concepts from examples? How are abstract representations beneficial to our learning?
Co-Learning and Offloading
Judgement of Learning Reactivity
Prospective Lab Members
We will be looking for undergraduate research assistants for the 24-25 school year. I will also be accepting applications for graduate students for the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. program for Fall 2025. We’d love to have you join us!
