Research

My research focuses on understanding cognition across the lifespan, with a particular focus on the relationship between working memory and long-term memory.

What is the relationship between working memory consolidation and long-term memory and what factors influence this relationship?

This project looked at how manipulating working memory consolidation influences subsequent delayed recognition performance. Read more here.

This review explores how working memory consolidation and long-term consolidation may be related.

This project explored how cognitive mechanisms supporting working memory consolidation are related to creativity and subsequent long-term retention. Read more here.

These projects explored how mind-wandering impacts working memory and long-term memory performance, particularly across different experimental contexts. Read more here or here.

The first part of this project explores how acute stress may impact working memory processing.

What factors affect cognition in older adults?

This project looked at the neural substrates related to perceived social support in older adults and the links to cognitive function.
