Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We study methods for improving educational outcomes, including the spacing effect. Currently, we are investigating whether the spacing of learning episodes can improve development and long-term retention of critical thinking skills in STEAM fields, such as physics, mathematics, computer programming, and musical performance. Recent studies investigated whether spacing was beneficial to improving media literacy skills, including website evaluation. Other recent studies examined song learning, including melody and lyric retention, and piano playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately, we are developing and validating a new socio-economic status scale. This scale is designed to cover SES in a more comprehensive manner than most previous scales. Our aim is to help researchers in psychology, epidemiology, medicine, and other fields understand the impact of financial and social influences on their measures of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
