Major Research Activities

My research has emphasized the interaction between memory and language processes and has examined issues such as the separation of conscious and unconscious influences of memory on task performance, contextual and episodic influences on skilled reading performance, and the development of a connectionist model of the interaction between different sources of knowledge that contribute to skilled word reading. The CLLRNet project emphasizes the development of literacy, both linguistic and conceptual, through interactive gaming experience.
