Research Interests

Human learning and knowledge representation, memory retrieval processes, acquisition and transfer of skills, and mathematical cognition. His work emphasizes both theory development and potential application. Ongoing projects explore the role of sleep in learning and memory, optimization of children's learning in arithmetic and other domains, and the cognitive processes underlying recall from long-term memory.
