Research Interests
I am currently investigating different aspects of the college classroom environment that affect students’ learning and performance. Other research projects include the use of a simulation laboratory training to aid learning among nursing students, and how exercise can improve cognitive functioning in the elderly. I am also interested in how the processes of perception (taste, vision, touch, etc.) differ across cultures.
