Integrative Statement

Biography:
I am interested in the basic cognitive processes underlying how people organize what they know about the world, and how they use what they know to make guesses about what they don’t know. I'm particularly interested in how those processes develop and change over time, and how differences in culture and experience influence them. Recently, I'm getting more and more interested in the practical, concrete consequences of conceptual organization and reasoning in areas like education, social conflict, and emotional regulation.
