Research Interest | : | My current projects focus on the relationships among cognition, health and
affect across the adult lifespan. One project uses a measurement burst design
to examine intraindividual change and variability in health, emotion and
cognition in older adults. A second project uses longitudinal methods to
examine how stress relates to health, emotional well-being and cognitive
function across the adult lifespan. A third project involves collaboration
with the longitudinal Einstein Aging Studies (EAS) and focuses on longitudinal
analyses of cognitive, physiological and health markers of preclinical dementia. |
