  Research Interests: 

Contexts that promote successful comprehension and problem solving.  I am interested in qualitative effects of expertise, experience or knowledge on cognitive processing, the impact of collaboration on learning and problem solving, and the application of such findings to instruction and design of learning environments. 

In a related line of research, I am investigating what allows people to solve creative problems more effectively, and how to help solvers get out of mental ruts that they encounter when they try to use routine solution paths.
