Research

I am a cognitive scientist who uses experimental and computational methods to investigate how people and other animals learn, remember, think, and know. I am particularly interested in the problems of implicit learning, associative learning, memory, and knowledge representation. I am also interested in translating theoretical advances into applied cognitive technologies.
