Research Interests

I am interested in examining the component processes of working memory, using behavioral and neuroimaging methods, both in healthy controls and in clinical populations. We can gain a more complete understanding of how disease affects the brain by discovering the patterns of deficits and intact abilities in the component processes of working memory.
