as a team
We are broadly interested in factors that affect cognitive development and academic achievement. Together, we have studied (1) individual differences, (2) developmental differences, (3) pedagogy, and (4) sociocultural factors in how they distinctively, but also collectively, affect inductive reasoning, inquiry learning, discourse processes, agency, self-regulation, and academic outcomes in diverse populations.
