Research Interests: I currently am doing research on Constraint-Induced Therapy for Aphasia. It is an experimental therapy program with a goal of determining whether the therapy works to improve speech production. The study is sponsored by Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin, an endowment of the Medical College of Wisconsin. Past research interests include experimental analysis of attention affects associated with effort tests, and an inspection time paradigm trying to demonstrate the temporal limits of the Stroop effect.
