| My research is about higher-order cognition, the way people think, reason, solve problems, make decisions, and develop arguments. I am interested in the psychology of writing and conceptual learning. I am especially interested in cognitive technologies and the potential of emerging digital technologies for education and psychological interventions. I have conducted psychological research on reasoning and argumentation, interdisciplinary writing and thinking, judgment and decision-making, analogical reasoning, Web-based interventions, and the assessment of learning and teaching. Along with colleagues I have received federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences and the National Science Foundation; and corporate and foundation funding from Proctor & Gambol, Rise Inc., and Blind Squirrels. | |
