How does your brain pay attention?  What makes it so hard to “switch gears” from doing one task to doing another?  How does attention interact with memory?

We address questions such as these using both behavioral and brain-imaging methods.  We are especially interested in how mental abilities change with age.  How do age-related changes in the brain influence older adults’ attention and memory?  Can we improve cognitive training programs so that they better benefit older adults?
