My research interests focus on children’s memory development and cerebral hemisphere specialization in information processing. The following articles offer examples of some of the research questions addressed:

Bill Rohwer, my Ph.D. advisor at Berkeley, introduced me to the following comments by E. C. Tolman (1959):

I have liked to think about psychology in ways that have proved congenial to me. Since all the sciences, and especially psychology, are still immersed in such tremendous realms of the uncertain and the unknown, the best that any individual scientist, especially any psychologist, can do seems to be to follow his own gleam and his own bent, however inadequate that may be. In fact I suppose that actually this is what we all do. In the end, the only sure criterion is to have fun. And I have had fun.

Psychology is fun and I'm still having fun!
