My research uses behavioral and neuroscience methods (ERPs, fMRI) to understand individual differences in math skill and to identify the neurocognitive mechanisms predicting longitudinal gains in arithmetic skill over time, studying the roles of both cognitive and emotional factors (math anxiety; math attitudes) in explaining or mediating these effects.

Her research uses behavioral and neuroscience methods (ERPs, fMRI) to understand individual differences in math skill and to identify the neurocognitive mechanisms predicting longitudinal gains in arithmetic skill over time, studying the roles of cognitive (e.g. phonological skill), affective (e.g. math anxiety; math attitudes), and social (e.g. SES) factors in explaining or mediating these effects.
