Research Interests

Professor Stine-Morrow's research is focused on the conditions and strategies that augment cognitive health and make us effective learners into later adulthood. Research topics include (a) investigations of how age-related change in cognition impacts language and text comprehension and how shifts in strategy with age can contribute to maintaining text memory, (b) the mechanisms underlying individual variation in literacy skill among adults, and (c) interventions that promote cognitive resilience into late life.
