Brief Research Statement

My research focuses on the development and interplay between memory and decision making across the lifespan: How do people of different ages use their memory when they decide on the value of outcomes or when they compare objects? I am also investigating the role of motivation in preferential and economic decisions: How do age-related changes in motivational orientation influence people’s attitudes to gains and losses?
