Research Interests:

My research is on the topic of aging. Most of my research addresses issues of Aging & Health. I study how patients and health-care providers interact, how people make decisions about their own health, and how older adults manage their medication regimens. I am also interested in other issues surrounding the use of language and memory by adults of different ages, including inter-generational conversations, memory for stories and text, and collaboration.
