I am interested in Working Memory.
I recently joined UNF from the UK. I have spent the last decade leading cutting-edge research on the importance of Working Memory in education. In addition to publishing in scientific articles,I have also developed test batteries and written books on Working Memory for educators. My research has appeared in over 250 news articles, and I have been invited to comment on television and radio as an expert on Working Memory.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
Working memory, our ability to remember and process information, is an increasingly important skill in psychology. My research is driven by three key questions: How does working memory develop across the lifespan? Why is it important? How can we support and train it?
PUBLICATIONS
Some of my work includes journal articles that are in the TOP 10 Cited list by Scopus. In addition to my academic publications, I have written books for educators and published two standardized tests of Working Memory. These books and test batteries have been translated in various languages.
NEWS
My research has been featured in various print, radio, and web media, appearing in Reuters, Scientific American, US News, Forbes, ABC News, NBC, BBC, and the Guardian, to name a few. I have also been interviewed on the BBC television and radio as an expert on working memory in the classroom.
