Older adults with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) can experience daily Prospective Memory (PM) challenges that can affect their ability to manage day-to-day tasks, maintain their health, and sustain relationships with family...
Several studies have examined age differences in eye movement behavior during normal reading, but have not determined the causes of these differences. Therefore, the current experiment investigated two possible causes of age differences...
Abstract Superior decision-making in chess is thought to rely on a combination of knowledge and search. Research has focused primarily on the chess knowledge base reflected by the importance to chess research of the short-term memory...
Whereas aging is associated with an increase in the successful use of Emotion Regulation (ER) strategies (Mather & Cartensen, 2005; Urry & Gross, 2010), depression prone older adults have been found to demonstrate deficits in ER...
Successful completion of the introductory course in organic chemistry is a prerequisite for many graduate and professional science programs, yet the failure rate for this course is notoriously high. To date, there have been few studies...
The current study examined the neuropsychological correlates of memory accuracy in older and younger adults. Participants were tested in a memory monitoring paradigm developed by Koriat and Goldsmith (1996), which permits separate...

There is a large body of research on the numerical abilities underlying math achievement, but less is known about mathematical reasoning and its relationship to other math abilities. The present study is the first step of a project with...
The current studies focus on individual difference predictors of the phenomenon inattentional blindness (IB; when observers fail to notice a salient but unexpected event when attention is occupied by another task). Study 1 (conducted on...
Deficits in cognitive processing, as measured by P300 activity, have been noted in older adults struggling with depressive symptoms, thus understanding factors that may influence cognitive processing are an important area of interest in...
Does asking participants to monitor their performance alter the way metacognitive processes operate? Judgments of learning and other similar metacognitive judgments are recognized as a type of verbal report, and although reactivity is...
The studies reported here suggest that elaborative encoding of a well-learned mnemonic structure facilitates effective retrieval by reducing demand for controlled attention. The literature provides conflicting support for how elaborative...
Memory for individual negative items, such as words and pictures, is consistently superior to memory for individual neutral items; however, recent research has found that relational memory for pairs of negative items is not enhanced...
The current study is an initial investigation of expert performance theory in golf putting. According to Ericsson and colleagues (Ericsson & Smith, 1991; Ericsson, Krampe & Tesch-Römer, 1993), a performer's mental representations are the...
Prospective memory (PM), the ability to remember to execute an intention in the future, is critical for the performance of everyday tasks important for independence and quality of life. PM failures are associated with negative health, ...
Men tend to outperform women on spatial tasks. Some argue that these performance differences result from innate factors or evolutionary pressures, while others claim they are the result of differences in culture or experience. Some now...
The present investigation tested the hypothesis that people with individualistic cultural orientation favor an experience of standing out, whereas those with collectivistic cultural orientation prefer an experience of blending in as a...
In this Dissertation, I report parallel processing in the avian vocal premotor nucleus HVC. First, I review historical ideas and recent evidence about the function of HVC. HVC has historically been viewed as a distributed network, and it...
