Chris Wahlheim

 

 

My research interests are in the areas of aging, memory, natural concept learning, and metacognition. My work on aging has focused on differences in the susceptibility to the effects of interference on memory performance, diminishing the effects of interference through experience, and differences in remindings and their consequences for memory performance. In addition, my work on natural concept learning has focused on enhancing generalization through testing, spacing, and variability of instances. Finally, I have examined the metacognitive accuracy of participants in each of the above mentioned areas. Currently, I am following up on earlier investigations of remindings by exploring their role in repetition lag effects and temporal judgments.
