PERSONAL PROFILE
- So I don't forget to use my brain, I have chosen to study it.

-
RESEARCH INTERESTS
- Research on memory has focused almost exclusively on memory processes and the neural mechanisms that support them, but almost not at all on the uses to which memory is put. I am in interested in applying what we know about memory to other cognitive domains, specifically problem solving and language.
