My research is focused on how individuals use a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic cues when evaluating their learning and predicting their future memory performance. More specifically, I look at how cues, such as context, fluency, and test experience, impact how individuals monitor their learning and make decisions to continue studying or to re-study recently acquired information.

Broadly, my research focuses on how cognitive mechanisms such as self-monitoring may affect future memory for order. More specifically, I will be looking at how making judgements of one’s own learning during study could influence the relational processing that occurs, which I will be evaluating in terms of the temporal contiguity effect.
