Research interests
My main area of interest is the cognitive processes involved in working memory. Much of my recent work has focused on individual and developmental differences in working memory and how these differences relate to higher-level cognitive skills in both adults and children. Another area of interest is the relationship between working memory and inhibition, and in particular, how the inhibitory processes involved in response competition are influenced by demands on working memory such as dual-task situations, attentional demands, and additional cognitive workloads. Finally, I am also interested in the inhibitory control of typically developing children and children with ADHD.
