Research Statement

My long-term research goal is to advance our understanding of what triggers lapses in executive functioning (EF), as well as to advance methods for identifying individuals who are at risk for such lapses. In the next several years, my lab will be focusing on testing and refining the Contextually Valid Executive Assessment (ConVExA) model. This model is built on several assumptions: First, while EF represents a stable trait, it also presents as a fluctuating trait; consequently, EF performance on any given day may or may not reflect one’s true and stable EF capacity. Second, although EF represents the best predictor of one’s functionality in daily life, other inherent characteristics (e.g., IQ, personality, temperament) in part determine how much EF is needed for a given task to be carried out correctly. Third, although relatively little EF may be needed for a simple daily task (e.g., a simple medication regimen), if such a task is imbedded in the context of a highly complex daily life, the probability that such a task will be carried out incorrectly increases despite normal or even superior performance on EF tests. The recent work in my laboratory has been, and will continue to be, focusing on quantifying these various relationships, so as to improve the ecological validity of EF assessment.
