Retrieval Practice

One of my research interests is retrieval practice. My goal is to better understand the mechanisms behind retrieval's effectiveness and explore how it can be applied to improve learning outcomes across different situations. Some of my ongoing projects are examining the role of engagement in the literature on retrieval practice.

Metacognition

I am interested in metacognition, or thinking about thinking, and its role in how individuals adapt to their learning materials. Upcoming projects will investigate the impact of metacognition on the effectiveness of restudying material, focusing on how metacognitive strategies influence learning outcomes.

Cognitive Load

Another interest of mine is cognitive load, specifically exploring how we can modify educational materials to optimize learning efficiency and retention. I am particularly focused on identifying strategies that reduce unnecessary cognitive demands and enhance the effectiveness of instructional content.
