Current Research: My research program centers on basic encoding and retrieval processes in human learning and memory. One particular focus is on how the act of retrieval enhances subsequent memory, as observed in the testing effect. I am particularly drawn to learning and memory phenomena with direct applications to teaching and student learning. My work therefore has both a theoretical and applied orientation.
