My current research program centers on the relation between memory and higher reasoning abilities in children and adults, and it also focuses on false-memory phenomena. Together with another Cornell Professor, Valerie Reyna, I have developed fuzzy-trace theory, a model of the relation between memory and higher reasoning that has been widely applied within cognitive neuroscinece, medicine, and law.
