Maddie joined the lab in the Fall of 2023 after graduating from Claremont McKenna College in 2021 and working for two years in a cognitive neuroscience lab at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she investigated age-related differences in how individuals represent categories and how they use that knowledge to generalize to novel situations. Her overarching research focus is on how memory and other related cognitive processes change (or stay the same) with age. She is especially interested in investigating the cognitive control mechanisms that support prospective memory, understanding how these mechanisms change with age, and developing strategies to mitigate the effects.
