Research in our lab explores several interrelated questions about human comprehension and memory. What are the cognitive processes involved in reading, understanding, and remembering text material? Why do cognitive processes become faster and better with practice? How can we optimize learning in educationally relevant domains, to improve how much students learn, how fast they learn it, and how long they retain it? And what self-regulatory processes support such learning?

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the industrialized world and in the United States. In addition to causing death and disability, heart disease creates an enormous economic burden for our society. Research in the Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine Laboratory focuses on the role of psychological factors in the initiation, progression, and endpoints of cardiovascular disease.
