Research Projects
Language and Working Memory
Many of our studies are aimed at exploring the interaction between language skills and working memory capacity. Our findings show the impacts of these constraints on language performance. We’re also exploring how additional cues might focus recall and responses.
Supporting Struggling Readers
Various struggling readers might benefit from different kinds of supports in reading programs. Some readers might need added practice while others might need to reason their way to an answer. Our intervention studies have compared the effects of these approaches for individuals and groups.
Practice-based Research
We’re interested in capturing current practice, creating practice, and supporting change in practice. To do this, we work directly with interest holders to address questions directly related to practice. Our projects have evaluated bespoke clinical tools and intervention programs, and co-created practice tools.
