My interests focus on neuropsychological, developmental, and instructional aspects of learning difficulties, particularly mathematics. Current projects involve a study of kindergarten predictors of math and reading problems, and randomized control trials of math and reading interventions, with an emphasis on selection, design, measurement, and prediction. Other interests include spina bifida, and the overlap in constructs of attention, working memory, executive function, and "intelligence". |
