Research Interests

My current interests are focused on the psychology of intercultural relations (including acculturation, immigration and multiculturalism). I continue to carry out research on two longstanding interests: ecological factors in human development; and cross-cultural theory and methodology.

Research Interests

I have conducted research on the assessment and treatment of female offenders, but am currently interested in applying aspects of cognitive psychology (how humans process and store information) to the design of effective learning environments.

Research Interests

My research aims to understand and quantify vulnerability to suicidal and self-injurious behavior in youth across distinct units of analysis (e.g., environmental circumstances, behavior, physiology). My ongoing projects focus on how individual differences in executive functioning, trait impulsivity, stressful life events (particularly peer rejection), reward responsiveness, and other variables may contribute to the escalation from suicidal thinking to action in adolescents and young adults.

Research Interests

Understanding the brain mechanisms by which our mental events are transformed into goal-directed action remains one of the most significant challenges facing modern neuroscience. The aim of research in the Memory, Action and Perception laboratory (MAPlab) is to understand the human cognitive and neural bases of this transformation, in general, and how a variety of processes (e.g., decision-making, working memory, perception and learning) are used to guide the selection and control of our actions, in particular. Visit the lab web site to learn how we use a combination of techniques including behavioural measurements, functional brain imaging, neurostimulation and computational analysis tools to elucidate some of the cognitive transformations that support human goal-oriented behaviour.
