Broadly, our lab is interested in the development of future oriented memory and cognition. In particular, our research focuses on how children develop the ability to remember to carry out their future intentions (prospective memory), how children think about and project themselves into the future (episodic future thinking), and how procrastination emerges and develops in early childhood.
We are also interested in processes involved in the decline or maintenance of these future oriented abilities across the lifespan. In particular, we are interested in how prospective memory changes during aging.
Our lab generally takes an experimental and individual difference approach to answer our research questions and uses mainly behavioural and questionnaire measures.
