McGill 5121
Associate Teaching Professor
Dr. Pilegard received her Ph.D. in Psychological and Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research falls at the intersection of cognitive psychology and educational psychology: she is interested in how we learn and how, as a consequence, we should teach.
A major focus of her research is facilitating transfer-- that is, helping students apply what they've learned to new situations. Areas of investigation include educational games, spatial skills, metacognition, gesture, and multimedia learning.
